Reply #106: Gaddafi controls only "a truncated rump of the country" he once dominated--The Telegraph

Even this pessimistic report recognizes that Gaddafi has lost control of much of the country to the opposition.

The rebels hold the East, and have gained control of Misrata and virtually all of the Jebel Nafusa, as well as a key border crossing with Tunisia.

The assertion that the regime controls 20 percent more territory than before is unsupported and is ludicrous on its face. A look at any of the interactive maps tracking territorial control over time debunks this ridiculous claim.

And, btw, if Gaddafi forces were to gain territory, it would be reported here, just as rebel gains--AND losses--are reported.
