There are a couple of assumptions that are bizarre to me in the claim that this man is a reliable or honorable person:
1) that someone is reliable on the basis of his military service in an enemy regime
2) that someone who does one honorable deed then becomes an honorable person in all his other endeavors, as well
I saw his interview last night on the Daily Show, by the way, and he did not claim to have personally witnessed the weapons loaded and flown to Syria.
What he said, and he made sure to clarify by restating himself midsentence, was that he saw the weapons earlier in his career, and knew where they were. Later, his men told him that they had loaded them up and flown them to Syria. He did not personally see them do this, but he stated that he believed his men.
