"Libya: 'Forced to rape in Misrata'"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13502715

as told by 2 soldiers captured by rebel forces. If this is even close to true it is disturbing beyound all reason. All the more so as the motivation for the crime is not discussed and presumably unknown.

from inside Libya. Al Jazeera are reporting that many sites like this have been "compromised". They mean those loyal to Gaddafi are interfereing with them. Apparently this one is still ok.

"Fresh violence rages in Libya"

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2011/02/201122261251456133.html

terrifying.

the live stream report on AJE was reporting that 2 col.'s defected to Malta after being ordered to fire on their own people. And repeated the reports of Libyan diplomats quitting. Could be positive I suppose.

Watch the video of Gaddafi on TV saying he's in Tripoli.

anyone see a solution besides invasion?
