""In March 2012, The Guardian published 200 leaked emails chiefly from
the address sam@alshahba.com, which the
paper alleged was used by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The “Syria Files” released by WikiLeaks include more than a thousand emails sent and received by this e-mail account and appear to confirm The Guardian’s claim. However, rare but sudden shifts in language, suggest that someone else, perhaps an adviser or aide, may have used the account at a certain point in time. Nevertheless, the majority of the emails sent and received by “Sam” appear to indeed be from and directed to the Syrian President, and the majority of this correspondence is with members of the Ministry of Presidential Affairs.""
