He told the BBC that the former Libyan leader said to him simply: "Don't shoot"."

[Female] Journalists Without Frontiers?
"Gaddafi frequently made sexual advances on female journalists, and successfully bedded a few in exchange for interviews.[327][328]"

"In Damascus, Gaddafi travels with hisAmazonian Guards, an armed all-female military troupe."
"Unlike some other military revolutionaries, Gaddafi did not promote himself to the rank of general upon seizing power, but rather accepted a ceremonial promotion from lieutenant to colonel[330] and remained at this rank. While at odds with Western military ranking, where a colonel would not rule a country or serve as commander-in-chief of its military, in Gaddafi's own words Libya's society is "ruled by the people", so he did not need a more grandiose title or supreme military rank.[8]"
Now, the people have spoken. And seized him.
But, like Jerry Seinfeld said, "WHO ARE these people???"
Are they truly the Libyan revolutionaries...or somebody's operatives?
Like Enya said, "Only time will tell..."
If post-Gaddafi Libya will turn out to be worse...then, like Britney Spears said: "Oops!..."
