...seems Walsh is having second thoughts about that decision. Reportedly shocked over his failure to get a majority of the jury to convict on even one of the nine counts George is charged with, Walsh is consulting top legal eagles on whether to proceed. He's already feeling the heat from George supporters attacking the idea of another wasteful million-dollar trial.

Yet without Moscow as a patron, Assad has little choice but to renounce his traditional role of spoiler and board the peace train if he wants access to Western trade and investment...
