  1. Earlier this am, the following tweets were listed under ‘breaking news’:

    *Libya update: State TV says rallies are being held across country in support of leader Moammar Gadhafi – Reuters

    *Libya is to release 110 prisoners accused of being Islamist militants, human rights activist says – Reuters

    It appears Libya’s state tv control wasn’t enough to convince the population that the mobs were protesting in defense of the current regime. . . so Gadhafi (or however he spells that name) released some more influential characters to address it.

  2. Right. Italy should start preparing for the imminent arrival of Gaddaffi and his extended family + friends and associates. A large palace in Italy or even Switzerland will do quite nicely.

    Italy should also prepare for the arrival of thousands of criminals released from prison, which Gaddafi has been promising to send to Europe.
