I enjoy skimming through the “tweets” over on Al Gezeera. Some pure fiction/propaganda. Others plausible but unconfirmed. One interesting tweet:Ghadaffi is using 400 camels to resupply his fighters in Brega. Another one is that in Zlitan, a deadly feud has erupted between Ghadaffi forces and his hired mercenaries. Gunfire heard. Intense at times. Is it true? Fog of war...coupled with very poor reporting.

In regards to your tag line.
Years ago I worked as an electrician when working my way through college.
We did the wiring for a new air conditioner at a near by church then sent the paster the bill.
It was returned witha note thanking us for our, “contribution”.
We could get a long way out of our debt is we just taxed religions the way we usually do business, cept G.E. of course.

Here are some updates on Libya. A reporter managed to get into an officially (Gaddafi) off limits Christian church in Tripoli and get opinions and and comments from the parishoners.

After days and weeks of organizing and gathering strength, forces in the Nafusa mountains are taking towns on the road north to Tripoli.

With effective air action by RAF/NATO, the rebels from Misrata now seem in control of Zlitan, the next town west from Misrata on the coast road to Tripoli.

I checked to see if there was any further info on the death of Khamis. In March after he was reported dead he was soon seen on state TV. No report of seeing him on TV yet at this time.
