“President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government, U.S. sources familiar with the matter said. Obama’s order broadly permits the CIA and other U.S. agencies to provide support that could help the rebels oust Assad. The White House is for now apparently stopping short of giving the rebels lethal weapons, even as some U.S. allies do just that. A U.S. government source acknowledged that under provisions of the presidential finding, the United States was collaborating with a secret command center operated by Turkey and its allies.”
