several months back Tony Blair, French and Italian officials visited Libyia in regards to gaining access to lucrative oil concessions. They had a personal meeting with Mr Gaddafi. He wasn't potrayed as a lunatic at this stage.

The media and elected stooges can proclaim all the dribble they wish about Gaddafi.
