"Hey boss, can I have some vacation time to go out and kill the rebels against my dad's regime?"
When unrest exploded in Libya last month, Khamis Gadhafi--the youngest son of the country's embattled leader Muammar Gadhafi--wasn't around. He was on an internship program in the United States.

Khamis, who runs Libya's special forces, quickly returned to his home country, where he has led a military unit that has brutally suppressed rebel forces.

The internship, which lasted a month, was sponsored by AECOM, a Los Angeles-based global engineering and design company that has been working with the Libyan regime to modernize the country's infrastructure. Khadis made stops in San Francisco, Colorado, Houston, Washington, and New York City, meeting with high-tech companies (including Google, Apple, and Intel), universities, and defense contractors like Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. While in the Big Apple, Khamis even took in the Broadway show "Mamma Mia."

3. Are there any other children of insane despots?
Touring our country, viewing plays, and whatever, and then the "bat signal" and he turns into his other "super" identity.

4. Mamma mia will be playing in his ears when an A-10 vaporizes him.
The guy is a bloody murderer that already has a spot in hell.
