One question I have re: Gaddafi’s capture...

If NATO claimed it didn’t know Gaddafi and his entourage were in that convoy pulling out of Sirte that morning, what the hell did they THINK they were firing on?

NATO planes fired on a lot of different things, convoys included. I’m sure Gaddafi’s was not the only one fired on.

Meanwhile, the Libyan “government” is asking NATO to stay through the end of the year as Gaddafi loyalists are still at large, and his son has not been located.

A further fascinating development has come from a large trove of intelligence documents discovered. It appears that Gaddafi was plotting with Iraqi dissadents against the Saddam Hussein government. This has resulted in 200 arrests in Iraq now.
