NATO "advisers" captured in Syria

In the tsunami of rumor and propaganda that's washed over the mainstream media about Syria recently it's remarkable that this story has remained hidden.

Turkish news sources reported on Feb. 9 that 49 Turkish intelligence operatives were being held by the Syrian government.

A story on the Haaretz site today puts the number at 40 and claims that  Syria and Turkey are negotiating a swap that would involve Syrian Army officers being held at a NATO base in Turkey.

NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and his entourage flew into Ankara this week to take over the negotiations.

Turkey has been a NATO member for 60 years.
