That&#039;s incorrect and there&#039;s footage and acres of news stories to prove it.

The FT&#039;s Charles Clover, for instance, was shoved aside and set upon. Only hours later, he was driven across the border.

There&#039;s lots of material here:

Kev, your attitude is paranoid. You beg for change but cannot accept that a multitude of actions by a multitude of people can move forward with an end result that all had a share in. Each and every person involved in this little episode (in the grand scheme of things, because it&#039;s a large universe out there) has his or her own demons to deal with, and that&#039;s about it.

Come tomorrow there will be more decisions to make and on it goes. Yes there are hidden agendas and also not-so-hidden ones, but find a place without them and you have hit the jackpot.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[http://feb17.info/general/emans-mother-speaks-out/
By Liz Sly, Sunday, March 27, 4:22 PM

TRIPOLI, LIBYA – The mother of the woman who burst into a Tripoli hotel and claimed she had been raped by militiamen loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi hailed her daughter as a hero Sunday and said she had been offered money and a house by the government if she changed her story.
(...)

Obaidi’s father, Atiq Saleh al-Obaidi, said no such request had been relayed.

“The only communication we’ve had was when they called us at 3 in the morning” offering money if she recanted, he said.

He also contradicted the government’s claim that his daughter was a divorced mother, saying she was single and has no children.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[According to Wikipedia, this story continued as follows:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eman_al-Obaidi

Eman Al-Obaidi is a lawyer and was not inventing any story.  Ibrahim later declared that she was found to be sane. They offered Ms Al-Obaidi money and a house only if she would &#039;change her story&#039;.  On the contrary, she commented that she prefers to die rather then change her version of the truth.  All this confirms that Ms Obaidi spoke the truth if the Gaddafi regime is trying to shut her up.

I fervently hope that one day justice prevails and those who are raping and torturing people will get what they deserve.]]></description>
