Looks like the fat lady hasn't sung yet in Libya.
Ghaddafi's son Saif is on Al J TV saying that he's making a tour of Tripoli to show the people that NATO is not in charge. He is driving around Tripoli without anyone stopping him.

2. Could be a 'remake'
With NATO lasers scanning the nights, I doubt it wasn't taped two weeks (or so) ago.

6. Alright, thanks.
>Libyans in the eastern rebel stronghold of Benghazi voiced their shock and dismay at international media footage showing Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the leader's most prominent son, amongst his supporters in central Tripoli in the early hours of Tuesday.

The emergence of Saif al-Islam has baffled observers and supporters of the pro-democracy uprising after the National Transitional Council stated that they had captured Saif al-Islam a day before.

Benghazi resident Ahmed Mekbassy didn't hide his frustration at what will inevitably be a boost to Muammar
Gaddafi supporters, but said rebels must remain focused on the wider goal of toppling the regime.

"This matter undoubtedly has a sort of contradiction but this doesn't spell the end. We didn't fight for the sake of Saif, but fought for the sake of liberating all of Libya and Saif, sooner or later, will face justice." <

The lady will sing later, or sooner, but she will sing, no doubt about it.

Got to give saif the guts it takes to show out in the chaos over there, though. :scared:
