Thank you. There are dozens if not hundreds of my colleagues covering U.S. news, including myself at times, so I'm not sure what your point is here.

Thank you, Michael. Good to hear from you.

This is one (yes, one) of the villas of Ghassan Bilal, a former major general and a central figure in the regime's state-sponsored Captagon trade. Like many homes of Assad-era elites, it is now in the hands of the new government — and being prepared for a new occupant.

We traveled to Syria multiple times to meet with experts and sources, knock on doors and visit the hometowns of the former officials. Most of the men were gone, but their opulent homes remained, each telling a different story of the regime's chaotic fall. I'll share a few.

In total, more than 13,000 documents were photographed in Syria by Times reporters and freelance journalist Lynzy Billing. She worked with many other media on another big story involving these documents: observer.co.uk/style/featur....

Similarly, we spoke to Kamal al-Hassan, last head of military intelligence under Assad, via Telegram. He wouldn't divulge his location. He did recount his escape under fire, said he was sheltered at a “diplomatic mission” before fleeing Syria, corroborating someone else's story.

Phone numbers proved crucial, both for identifying online accounts and making direct contact. For instance, we reached Bassam Hassan via a Lebanese WhatsApp number. He declined an interview. There’s a French arrest warrant for him, but he’s in Beirut speaking with CIA officials.
