#1 Abdul-Monem al-Houni, told Asharq Al-Awsat "if Qadaffy, as he claims, is not serving as the legitimate president of the country, then the question that must be asked is: in what capacity does he hold the powers of a state president and order the killing of Libyan citizens?"

Ergo, the mistake was made to sanction Libya because it was controlled by a non-legitimate leader. Ex post facto leverage or something.

Maybe that is what everyone that works for him should think about during his removal.

#2 So what did the 'unsecret' Euro delegation do when Saddam was butchering the march Arabs just after the ceasefire of the first Gulf War? How many years did elements cheat on the restrictions in exports, take bribes, etc. Why should anyone really pay attention to such pleadings now?
