"If I could throw Assad in prison, that's what I would do," Cat Colvin told me. Short of that, she said, "I think that every penny I can get out of the Assad regime is less that they can spend on barrel bombs and chemical weapons."

According to unsealed court documents, a former Syrian agent turned defector says that the Assad regime "regularly monitored" TV broadcasts. A top intel official "wanted to learn their location and take the necessary measures to stop them from reporting," the defector said.

Lawyer Scott Glimore: "What [the defector] revealed was really that from the moment that Marie, Paul Conroy and other journalists --
@arwaCNN, Paul Wood from the BBC -- as they were arriving in Lebanon, there were intelligence sources tracking their movements."Show this thread -
The Syrian government did not respond to CNN's request for comment on the case, but has previously denied targeting journalists.

Cat Colvin: "I really thought Marie's death would be sort of a watershed event, and the world would take notice, or the US government would find the targeting and murder of an American citizen intolerable. But none of that happened."
