Robert Fisk, intrepid reporter on the Middle East for The Independent is now in Tripoli, just as most people are trying desperately to leave. He provides a fascinating, though not particularly encouraging, insight into Gadaffi's though processes. It seems that a friend of Fisk's was granted a twenty minute interview with the Libyan leader. Thinking that the friend had had a facelift, when in fact he was simply young looking, Gadaffi insisted on spending the entire twenty minutes inquiring about facelifts, apparently wanting one for himself.
