(Not yet released) Wikileak: Bellmare to Sison: "I need your help, especially with the Syrians ..."

(Not yet released) Wikileak: Bellmare to Sison: "I need your help, especially with the Syrians ..."

As seen in Al Akhbar:
In an August 18, 2008 meeting with US Ambassador (Beirut) Michelle Sison, STL prosecuter Daniel Bellemare voiced his 'concern' for the lack of 'assistance' he was getting from the americans, something he relayed to the State Department ... and he reiterated 3 specific queries: 
(1) He wanted a clear 'yes or no' whether certain (US) Intelligence was to be submitted for his review ...
(2) He asked to get US 'investigators on loan'...
(3) He asked the US to 'pressure the British to be more forthright..."
Moreover, Bellemare asked the Americans to financially support the STL ...
He asked to have access to former Hezbollah members who 'reside in the US' ...
He finally told Sison that he 'will not travel to Syria, unless the Americans (or others) gave him a list of 'Syrian officials' to investigate ... And then, if the Syrians become uncooperative, it would be easier for him to publically mention their 'lack of cooperation'... Bellmare added that this should prode 'other Syrians' to come forth ... Bellemare pointed to the importance of getting to the Syrians before year's end (date at which 'Chapter 7' expires) ...and the possibilty that some of these sought after individuals either 'disappear or get eliminated'...
