[A young French film-maker, Julien Teil, has filmed a remarkable interview
in which the secretary general of the Libyan League for Human Rights,
Slimane Bouchuiguir, candidly admits that he had "no proof" of the
allegations he made before the U.N. Human Rights Commission which led to
immediate expulsion of the official Libyan representative and from there to
U.N. Resolutions authorizing what turned into the NATO war of regime change.
Indeed, no proof has ever been produced of the "bombing of Libyan
civilians" denounced by Al Jazeera, the television channel financed by the
Emir of Qatar, who has emerged with a large share of Libyan oil business
from the "liberation war" in which Qatar participated.--Diana Johnstone,

[Reports from human rights organizations show that the United States, NATO
and their vassal "rebels" committed the worst possible war crimes,
culminating in the cold-blooded murder of Muammar Qaddafi. Interviews
conducted with victims and witnesses in Tripoli, Zawiya, Sibrata, Khoms,
Zliten, Misrata and Sirte Tawergha give ample proof that NATO deliberately
bombed civilian targets, causing numerous deaths and injuries. This included
schools, hospitals, government buildings, food stores and homes. The rebels
meanwhile indulged in systematic torture, abuse and revenge killings among
Gaddafi sympathizers, while "Black" immigrants were literally
butchered.(translated by Michael Colhaze)--von Freeman, "The war crimes of NATO in Libya," Alles Schall und
Rauch, February 6, 2012]

[REVIEW:
One of the book's accomplishments is its comprehensive demolition of the war's supposed
justifications. Forte shows us that there was no "mass rape" committed by "Gaddafi
forces" - as alleged by US Permanent Representative to the United Nations Susan Rice,
former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, International Criminal Court prosecutor
Luis Ocampo and others at the time, but later refuted by Amnesty International, the UN
and even the US army itself.--Dan Glazebrook, "Slouching
