While some Arab states are actively funding the Syrian
opposition, the West has publicly refused to provide arms.

The US, in particular, has been criticised for its reluctance to
get involved beyond talks and diplomacy.

Brian Sayers is a lobbyist for a US-based non-profit
organisation. The Syrian Support Group has been given the green
light by the US Treasury to raise money for the Free Syrian Army
despite the fears that the FSA might have links to extremist
groups in the region.

The Syrian Support Group insists that the money raised will not
get into the wrong hands. How can they be sure?
