After watching Gaddaffi junior on Sky news last night, I'm thinking something doesn't add up. He came across as balanced, fair and honest. He invited hundreds of journalists to go to any part of Libya and talk to anyone and to find one piece of evidence of government violence on civilians. The media are talking - screaming- about towns "falling" and air strikes, yet I see no pictures and no proof.
What's going on?

He may have invited them to go to any location they chose, but I would guarantee that if they asked to go to some locations it would be 'inconvenient' on the day.
I did not realise he had allies in Scotland.

I know you are a serial denialist, rsmith, but please do not attempt to deny something as serious as this. Will you do that for me?

Could either of you serial believers point me to some footage or pictures of the carnage gadaffi is reportedly wreaking on his population. I don't think I can be accused of sympathising with him - he's a socialist. I detest socialists. I just detest propaganda more.

Gaddaffi may state he's a socialist but that doesn't mean that he is one.
He may well insist that the 'state' owns all corporations, etc but when he himself is the 'state' then one can't very well say that the corporations, etc are owned by the people.

Most socialists are dictatorial - it's a defining trait. I don't know what's happening in Libya. I don't trust the media to give a true picture of the reality on the ground. We live in dangerous times my friend.

Don't they all do that? Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mugabe, Mao, Saddam, Brown..... Nice, socialist, caring, sharing, touchy, feely guys eh? Socialism should be banned.

Trouble is Rsmith that gaddaffi is not allowing the media in - that is why there is such a dearth of news footage. UN reckon over 1000 people have been kiled by Gaddaffi Strikes me as mild in socialist terms - nothing in comparison to Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Mimh , Kim Il Sung etc
