Postscript: Marie Colvin, 1957-2012 "Clearly, and without hype, Colvin described how every house in Homs had been hit, including the top floor of the house where she was taking refuge. Of Bashar al-Assad's armed forces, Colvin said, 'It's a complete and utter lie they're only going after terrorists. The Syrian Army is simply shelling a city of cold, starving civilians.'" — New Yorker
