liz, what happened on your trip? >> well, first, we had to find somebody who was willing to drive us up the central highway north of damascus, very difficult. it's considered so dangerous with the widespread fighting. we finally found somebody and made it 100 miles to the outskirts of the city of hama. we ran into a checkpoint manned by heavily armed government forces, and they said, "look, that's it. you're not going any further." in fact, they forced us back to damascus. >> pelley: having not been able to reach the scene of the massacre, you've been trying to telephone into the village and find witnesses and i understand you reached a man today. >> reporter: we reached a man who came into the village just after the massacre. this is a very small collection of houses, about 35, 160 people. we were told that about half the population of this village of qubeir was killed and the other half saved themselves by running away. now, of course because the syrian government hasn't let anybody get in there, it's impossible to

joining me now with reaction is fox news contributor liz cheney.to have the muslim brotherhood? let's see, they refer to the israelis at killers, vampires, a known killer. and i want to get your take. >> you are exactly right. they said they were relieved, they have welcomed it. and, in fact, even more troubling i have heard from a number of liberals in egypt, people who should be with the united states asking why is it that the united states is now backing the muslim brotherhood. the muslim brotherhood is anti-freedom, they are anti-women, they are anti-christian, they are anti-israel, they are anti-american, they are anti-democratic. they are very closely alied with, in fact the same organization as hamas. they are the organization that spawned al-qaeda. and the leader of al-qaeda began in the egyptian muslim brotherhood. so you've got a situation now where you have got this organization in charge potentially in egypt, which is the most populous arab nation. you know, setting us up here for a real conflict it looks like between the muslim brother

as liz just mentioned, religious hatred is at the heart of this conflict. the dictator, bashar al assad, comes from one faction of islam, most of syria's population belongs to another. they had been at each other's throats for hundreds of years, and maybe that explains a scene that we saw today on a street in another syrian town called dara. mohammed bassam al tahhan lay just out of reach. he'd been hit by a sniper. he was 11 years old. neighbors stretched in the street to touch him and mohammed moved, maybe that's what gave them the courage to lunge into the field of fire. mohammed's father told us the shot came from a communications tower where syrian army snipers stand above the town. a shot like that could have required a telescopic sight, a clear view of the boy's face. and a steady hand. mohammed was laid out for burial at a relative's house. his father said he'd only been playing in the street. when word got out, neighbors came by the hundreds to view the boy in a box. that sound you hear is a pledge to overthrow the dictator or die trying. and now i
