Reply #35: The Torygraph article reports comments

[T_i_B]

which the articles you posted simply did not report. Given the nature of those comments I think the Torygraph article is actually justified in reporting what it did and treating it as they did. it makes reference to the comments he made about Libya's past involvement with terrorism that the other articles report and also reports the following comments.

"I hope that we shall not be prompted or obliged by any evil to go back or to look backwards," he said after defending his past support for militant third world freedom fighters.

"We do hope that we shall not be obliged or forced one day to go back to those days when we bombed our cars or put explosive belts around our beds and around our women so that we will not be searched and not be harassed in our bedrooms and in our homes, as it is taking place now in Iraq and in Palestine."

The only spin in the Telegraph article is the treatment of these comments as a threat. Having read his comments in the articles you posted I also think that there is a small amount of justification for this.
