Caesar-Syria Civilian Protection Act, HR 5732, Syrian Observatory

The bill relies on testimony from a defector known as "Caesar" and reports from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The hosts criticize the bill for using what they claim are debunked reports of chlorine gas attacks by the Assad regime.
