A so-called "barrel bomb" dropped from a helicopter is more accurate and precise than most munitions fired on a battlefield, but that's not really what this is about.
The use of this propaganda, like the chemical weapons story a few years ago, is "about finding some horror story that people don't understand, and repeating it endlessly," explains Prof. Tim Anderson, a Syria solidarity activist.
"It's an attempt to denigrate the Syrian military and say that they have no right to defend Syria."
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch continue to present themselves as reliable sources, but Anderson explains this misunderstanding.
"Amnesty International U.S.A. is dominated by the state department," and a leader worked for Hillary Clinton.
