In Damascus , people watch as tracer fire lit up the sky . Comment: We tried to avoid contact with security officers but needed their help with road directions . They showed me the scars the shackles had left on their ankles and wrists , and the marks of the electric clips on their nipples . Young fighters laughed with me ; now after sustained attacks I do n't know how many are still alive .
