22. I met a Brit the other day who recently taught in Tripoli for 2.5 years.
He said he never heard or saw Quadaffi's "secret police", and that in the whole time he was there he never heard a single Libyan make a derogatory comment about Quadaffi. He said that other people who have worked there have said the same thing, and their general conclusion is that NATO is not being very honest about things there. He said the Libyan people were absolutely wonderful people, and working in Libya was the best job he ever had.

From what I noticed, the Qataris are very much involved there. Look at the difference between the early and late pictures of capturing Bab al-Azizya palace!

A latter picture shows the Qatari flag removed, and now replaced with

the flag of the Libyan rebels.



So who is doing the actual fighting there?
