Charles Levinson has a couple of links to the Arab press that purport to add a bit of data to the (small) pile of info we have on Israel's Syria strike.  The first, that defecting Iranian general Ali Reza Asgari gave Israel info, is plausible.  The second, from Kuwait's Al-Watan newspaper (who has often printed quite colorful cartoons, btw), that America "provided cover" for the raid, strikes me, as a commenter points out, as the typical Arab "the Israelis couldn't have done this by themselves" reaction -- though the US certainly knew what was happening.
