Where are the leaked e-mails, has someone translated them?
They're linked inside the article: * http://www.haaretz.co.il/hasite/images/galery/assad/mail2.pd... * http://www.haaretz.co.il/hasite/images/galery/assad/mail1.pd...
They were addressing the common concerns Americans have on Syrian situation and answers to those.

It's not a single person or two who had a password 12345, it's like a half of the office?!
I wonder if this is an IT policy gone bad. Perhaps the guy who set it up used 12345 as the default and, of course, nobody ever changed it.
I learned a long time ago to use a somewhat complex password when setting up new accounts, because otherwise 3 years later, they will be using the insecure temp password you gave them.
I'm looking at some of the images in that slideshow in the middle of the article. It's showing rebels with rocket launchers and AK-47s. Then it's also showing destroyed armoured vehicles that I can only imagine belonged to the government. I'm not denying that Syrian government is being very brutal in how it's dealing with protests... but if the "Occupy" protests here in Canada and in the States took up heavy arms, I…

Yes, but did they take up arms before or after the brutal response and is the Syrian government legitimate? (my understanding is after and no).
I'm not sure how to think about the legitimacy of the Syrian government though. Is any government legitimate? I know a lot of people don't like Stephen Harper or Obama, but they deal with it until the next election. Presumably the Syrian government was elected at some point too so they must have some kind of support in the country. Indiscriminately killing peaceful protesters would certainly destroy that legitimacy, but the images I mentioned make me wonder if the army's response is totally unwarranted.

I mean either scenario is possible but yeah I don't know for sure. I'm not sure how to think about the legitimacy of the Syrian government though. Is any government legitimate?

EDIT: Actually I think there is a good point in your post, but I still think that familiarising yourself with the history of the country is necessary to understand where they are now.

Remember that this is a regime that razed an entire town to the ground to suppress the last major resistance (Hama, 1982). This is a dictatorship, passed down from father to son, result of a military coup in the 60's, and one of the most brutal, ruthlessly oppressive regimes in the region. You can imagine some people might take issue with that, forcefully.

Wow, when you count 123456 too, it is a big chunk of the office. Not to mention the others that had 12345 as part of their password. I wonder if this is an IT policy gone bad. Perhaps the guy who set it up used 12345 as the default and, of course, nobody ever changed it.
