Lebanon's President tells civil servants to ignore the Siniora government's orders

It's not being widely reported yet, but Lebanon's pro-Syrian President, Emile Lahoud told the BBC that he has told Lebanese civil servants that they are allowed to disregard orders emanating from the Siniora government.

He claims that this is a way for them to help hand Lebanon over to Hezbollah, Iran and Syria `peacefully protest the government'.

I don't think the Siniora government will be around too much longer.

By the way, here's a message for Colin Powell and his fellow `useful idiots: this is what happens when you talk to Syria and Iran and engage their `help' in sustaining a democratic government.
