FILE - The Pentagon is seen in this aerial view in Washington, in this March 27, 2008 file photo. The Pentagon has revised its Law of War guidelines to remove wording that could permit U.S. military commanders to treat war correspondents as ‚Äúunprivileged belligerents‚Äù if they think the journalists are sympathizing or cooperating with enemy forces. The amended manual, published on July 22, 2016, also drops wording that equated journalism with spying. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)

It is now 3:39am in Damascus. Sunrise is 6:44am

If I had more reportorial ambition, I’d look for the easy tell. Drive down Jeff Davis Highway or South Washington Boulevard in Arlington, slow down as you pass the Pentagon parking lot and take a gander. If there are a lot of cars still there, something is happening.
