Members of Syria's opposition-in-exile bristle at the Obama administration's suggestion that Washington will handpick more representative leaders including Seif at a crucial conference in Qatar next week. The new U.S. push appears aimed at creating a unified body that could work more closely with the West, but groups both inside Syria and out will likely resist over concerns that foreign countries will dictate the course of their civil war.

U.N. officials and human rights groups believe President Bashar Assad's regime is responsible for the bulk of suspected war crimes in Syria's 19-month-old conflict, which began as a largely peaceful uprising but has transformed into a brutal civil war. However a video that appears to show a unit of Syrian rebels kicking terrified, captured soldiers and then executing them with machine guns raised concerns Friday about rebel brutality at a time when the United States is making its strongest push yet to forge an opposition movement it can work with.
