According to a BBC article, Syria allowed the CIA to house kidnapped people the U.S. suspected of terrorism. They also allowed them to use "enhanced interrogation techniques," said Dick Marty, a Swiss politician investigating the whole extraordinary rendition program for a European human rights group.
Syria's assistance in the War on Terror is not something new. But this information, if true, shows that their level of involvement and cooperation is a lot higher than we have been led to believe.
Also, it poses an interesting contrast to the rhetoric of this Administration, which has been very negative regarding Syria.

Yeah, but what kind of "ally" is Syria, really?
They're trying to destabilize the Lebanese gov't, sending weapons to Hezbollah, and threatening war in the Golan.
These are guys who we need to help bring peace?
