Is this the face of Gaddafi?

The Guardian

has publised a photo that purports to show Gaddafi at the time of his capture.

While Libyan Tv is reporting his death, an NTC spokesman is being rather more cagey. once again we will know soon enough what has happened to Gaddafi.

Or has he been killed

Al Jazeera has been reporting that Gaddafi is dead. Again we will know sooner or later if this is true..

Gaddafi captured?

The world's press is buzzing with the rumour that Colonel Gaddafi was captured earlier today as he was trying to flee Sirte. It is said that he was wounded in both legs.

Truth or scuttlebutt? I daresay we will know soon enough

Gaddafi ready for transition talks…..about six months too late

The BBC is reporting that Gaddafi is ready to begin talks to transfer power. His spokesman, Moussa Ibrahim, reportedly said the toppled leader's son Saadi would lead the talks. The rebels say they will not negotiate until he surrenders.

It was the the Associated Press news agency in New York that had received a call from Col Gaddafi's spokesman Moussa Ibrahim, who said the former leader was still in Libya although he did not specify where.

Mr Ibrahim, whom AP says it identified by his voice, said Col Gaddafi was offering to negotiate with the rebels to form a transitional government.

Those negotations would be led by Col Gaddafi's son, Saadi, said Mr Ibrahim, who told AP he was still in Tripoli and had seen the former leader on Friday.

Early this week, CNN reported it had been in email contact with Saadi Gaddafi who confirmed his desire to negotiate a ceasefire.
"I will try to save my city Tripoli and 2 millions of people living there... otherwise Tripoli will be lost forever like Somalia," he wrote.

Without a cease-fire, Mr Gaddafi added, "Soon it will be a sea of blood."

An official in the rebel's National Transitional Council (NTC) told Reuters news agency that they did not know where Col Gaddafi was and no negotiations were taking place with him.

"If he wants to surrender, then we will negotiate and we will capture him," said Ali Tarhouni, the rebel official in charge of oil and financial matters.

UK Foreign Secretary William Hague described Colonel Gaddafi's offer as "delusional", saying the NTC is already in charge of the country.

By sounds of it Gaddafi seems to believe that he is in control. I wonder if he is currently in a Fuhrer bunkers surrounded by sucophants and still believing that there is the ghost of a chance that he can negotiate his way out of arrest and prison, perhaps even a date with the hangman (not that I would want to see the last happen). That or he is trying to buy time to effect some sort of escape to a friendlier country.

Whattever the reason it is far too late for negotiations. For better or worse (and I hope the NTC do not prove to be worse) he is history.

Perhaps the strangest thing to come out of the Libyan revolution so far is the discovery of a photo album belonging to Muammar Gh
Ghaddafi’s in his fortified compound this week.

From MSNBC

The subject of the photo album was Hilary Clinton's predecesor as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Ghaddafi once described her as a “darling black African woman.”

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland described the US Government's response to this discovery as "Eeeewww this is creepy!"

Rice and Ghaddaffi met in 2008 when Libya was seeking to improve relations with the U.S. Ghaddafi was said to be very excited.

Ghaddafi had been an ardent fan of Rice even before their face-to-face encounter. In a 2007 interview with al Jazeera he described her as his “darling black African woman.” He referred to her as Leezza and said “I love her very much.”

Mercifully Ghaddafi is not believed to have suggested anything of a hanky or even panky nature at their meeting and none of the photos of Ms Rice are even remotely erotic.

It is believed, however, that Ghaddafi's ipod includes the following song

Proof that everythings is just fine in Libya...

If he weren't a murderous scumbag one could almost pity his delusions..... Or maybe not
