Today we look at Hayat Tahrir al Sham or HTS, the group now leading Syria. They've made a focused effort to get the world, especially the west, to look past their roots with al Qaeda and ties to Islamic State and those efforts seem to be paying off. Hopefully, for the Syrian people and the world, they've changed, but this is an area where we should proceed with caution.
