Libya Threatens to Sue U.S. Secretary of State for Calling It 'non-Democratic'
, Libya (AP) - Libya's foreign minister has threatened to sue U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell for calling Moammar Gadhafi's regime "totalitarian."
At a gathering at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington Thursday, Powell was asked by a Libyan-American about U.S. diplomacy toward the Libyan regime.

"We have no illusions about Col. Gadhafi or the nature of his regime ... its non-democratic, totalitarian nature, and we will approach it in that light," Powell said.

========
"The Minister Colin Powell humiliated the people of Libya and therefore ... we will file a lawsuit against him," Shalqam was quoted as saying. "What he said is considered blasphemous and defamatory against Libyans."

2. Qaddafi is *'s buddy now...
so long as the moron in chief can hold up his photo and say "former terra-ist who's afraid of me so he caved to my demands". Don't trust Qaddafi as far as you can throw a grenade.

3. Don't trust them
Shrubbies have a habit of turning on the people the claim to serve.
