Yesterday's news article on the latest fighting in Eastern Ukraine suggested that the Ukraine forces started the bombardment and the Eastern Ukraine rebels finally responded after their patience ran out.  Back in Syria (and previously Libya), the rebels were supposed to be the "good guys".  Don't we need some factual information to decide what constitutes a "good rebel" (the blue team) and what constitutes a "bad rebel" (the red team)?  To complicate matters, Canada's armed forces trainers in the Middle East, for example, do not trust many of the military people that they are training.  They worry about "green on blue" attacks. (The Canadians are worried that the people that they are training might attack them.)  More hard facts would be useful in these complex situations.  What ever happened to: "fact based evidence" ?
