Gaddafi’s son Saif surfaces unexpectedly:
Saif’s arrest had been reported both by rebels and the International Criminal Court in The Hague and his appearance before the foreign media raised questions as to the rebels’ credibility.
Ya think?
And this from Saif himself:
[Saif] took journalists to his father’s Bab al-Aziziyah stronghold. Television footage showed Saif smiling, waving and shaking hands with supporters, as well as holding his arms aloft and making the V for victory sign.
“We broke the back of the rebels. It was a trap. We gave them a hard time, so we are winning,” Saif said.
Who knows what the truth is at this point? Certainly not I—and not the media, whose reports of Saif’s previous arrest were greatly exaggerated.
[NOTE: The title of this post is an allusion to this series of riddles.
Also, I have written in depth about Saif before, here.]

I wish I could comment on the situation in Libya if could compel myself to trust a single word of just one Arab. Unfortunately, I could not do this.

I’m not a West Point grad but isn’t an enemy army occupying one’s capital a bad sign? Whatever Saif’s current position I give his side less than a 50%-50% chance at this point.
BTW remember what Leon Trotsky said about deducing the truth from political statements: “In order to approximate the truth compare the lies.”

Remember Baghdad Bob? Now we seem to have several iterations of the same schtick. Benghazi Bob?
