Where are the charges that these programs promote "regime change"?
Apparently, such complaints are exclusive to the defenders of the Castro regime in Cuba.
Kudos to Secretary Clinton for standing by the Syrian opposition.
From The Wall Street Journal:
Clinton Pledges $45 Million to Syrian Opposition
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the U.S. would give more aid to Syrian opposition groups and reiterated Washington's demands that "as the bodies keep piling up in morgues…the Syrian regime must end."
Opening a session of the pro-opposition Friends of Syria group on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, Mrs. Clinton said the U.S. was releasing an additional $30 million for food and medical services for Syrian civilians "suffering under the relentless assaults" of President Bashar al-Assad's military forces.
The U.S. would also provide another $15 million to unarmed opposition groups in satellite phones, cameras and other equipment to help them "strengthen their networks and document human-rights abuses," Mrs. Clinton said.
