Hitchens' article in Daily Mail dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7… contains details of how the OPCW reports were altered. Original report included exculpatory (to Assad) evidence that levels of chlorinated organics where bodies discovered was very low and not different from neutral sites. 
2/ "behind the backs" of report authors, a "second report" was prepared in which the exculpatory information was deleted. The scientists protested - including the email recently leaked. OPCW leaders pretended to compromise.
3/ instead, OPCW leaders prepared a "third version" (which was published) omitting exculpatory information and leading news organizations around the world to believe that an airborne chemical attack had occurred
4/ since then, "dissenting scientists" have been trying to set the record straight despite corruption at top OPCW levels.
5/ Jonathan Steele (who appeared on Tucker Carlson last night) wrote a key article at Counterpunch on Nov 15 here

@CanadaOPCW @CanadaSyria I am very concerned by revelations that senior OPCW officials concealed exculpatory scientific information from report on Douma, despite protests from scientists, and that public and policymakers were deceived. What actions is Canada taking?
