We have a report from Reuters that Syria just shot down a Turkish military jet over Syrian territorial waters. (Remember, Syria and Turkey share a border and are scrunched up against each other in the northeast corner of the Mediterranean Sea.) Given where we are right now with what amounts to a Syrian Civil War, this is the kind of incident that easily spins out of control or becomes a tipping point to internationalize the Syrian conflict.
