The virtual entirety of the western media and all western governments appear to be united in their condemnation of Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi and their open or tacit support of the forces seeking to topple his regime. But as with the Egyptian protests one month ago, the pictorial evidence from the Libyan protests suggests that [...]
Not yet ten years after the 9/11 attacks, Western commentators, on both the Left and the Right, are making common cause with al-Qaeda. See my new post on the “Tatler” blog here.
Michael Ledeen makes what strikes me as a remarkably flip suggestion on Pajamas Media. See my response on the “Tatler” blog here.
Gabriele Riedle is a reporter for the German magazine GEO who was on assignment in Libya when the anti-Gaddafi protests broke out last week. In an interview that appeared yesterday, she was asked by Die Berliner Zeitung what the protesters aim to achieve. To read her response, see my new post on the “Tatler” blog [...]
