		Gaddafi was one of the first world leaders to issue a statement strongly condemning the attacks as horrific and gruesome, urging Libyans to donate blood for the US victims.
		Gaddafi had particularly strong in-roads to the rebel groups fighting in the Philippines because during the 1970s and 1980s he had helped found and sustain some of the original Muslim independence movements there.
		Gaddafi’s recent purchase of missile-delivery systems has not helped in instilling confidence that he is now a man of diplomacy not force.

		Colonel al-Gaddafi also said that the authorities have no right to prevent lawyers and families visiting prisoners, and affirmed the right of families to know what happened to their relatives during incidents in Abu Salim Prison in 1996 during which large numbers of prisoners were reportedly killed.
		In this system, Colonel al-Gaddafi, officially referred to as the "Leader of the Revolution", is not considered a head of state in the conventional sense but rather as an influential advisor to the people.
		Colonel al-Gaddafi, who had called on the General People’s Congress to abolish the death penalty, intervened to seek the commutation of all death sentences in response to a request by Amnesty International.

	New Statesman - The colonel and his third way
		Gaddafi's global prominence is altogether out of proportion to the size of the nation he leads.
		Gaddafi is interested in the debates and policies involved in social democracy in Europe, which is the reason he has invited me. He likes the term "third way", because his own political philosophy, developed in the late 1960s, was a version of this idea.
		Gaddafi's "conversion" may have been driven partly by the wish to escape sanctions, but I get the strong sense that it is authentic and that there is a lot of motive power behind it.

		The young Gaddafi was strongly influenced in his formative years by the pan-Arab nationalism espoused by the charismatic Egyptian leader, President Gemal Abdel-Nasser.
		The signs are, too, that another member of the Gaddafi family - the colonel's second son, Seif al-Islam - is a growing power in the land.
		Col Gaddafi is intent, perhaps, to ensure that his idiosyncratic years as leader are left as a stamp on the country by the rise to power and possible succession of one of his sons.

		During his statement, Colonel Gaddafi referred to the opinion of a Scottish legal expert, who said the verdict against Al Megrahi was obtained on "very, very weak" evidence.

		Colonel Muammar Gaddafi (whose name is spelt in as many different ways as it can be pronounced) is a good example of the sort of leader African nations do not really need.
		Gaddafi is a self-proclaimed socialist, who however appears to be gradually embracing the trappings of capitalism and the free market that comes along with it.
		Colonel Gaddafi raised a number of other points concerning Charles Taylor's handover, which include the harm done to Nigeria, which could no longer be considered a haven.

		Although Colonel Gaddafi himself was deeply suspicious of the necessary reforms, his advisers told him that economic success and diplomatic respectability depended upon them.
		Libya had already renounced terrorism and even the colonel had to face the fact that stagnation in the Libyan economy was not just the result of sanctions but had much to do with public economic inefficiency.
		Now, Colonel Gaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam, who is close to the reformers, has persuaded his father that human rights abuses must end and that political reform is needed too.

		Colonel Muammar Gaddafi (or Mu'Ammar Qathafi or even Ghaddafi - there is no single correct transliteration for Arabic words) came to power in a virtually bloodless coup in 1969, deposing King Idris who had ruled Libya since independence in 1951.

		Gaddafi took control of Libya in a coup, promising to spread his revolutionary power to every citizen through local committees and socialized government.
		With Gaddafi, this democratic promise from his early days has afforded an excuse for the softening of his regime in his old age -- all the while saving face with his long-time supporters.
		Gaddafi has always been a showman in search of an audience, using his position as the leader of Libya as his grandstand, and this transformation is no different.

		Gaddafi also rushed to the rescue of Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe in the summer of 2001, at a time when it appeared his brutish regime was finally tottering on the brink of collapse.
		Gaddafi's apparent willingness to suspend his WMD programs, while welcome, is not in itself grounds for concluding that Libya has become part of the "solution" to the problem of Islamist terror.
		In short, Gaddafi presents nothing less than a challenge to the president's credibility, both in the United States and internationally, as well as an important test case for the Bush Doctrine, in which the precedents and principles involved must be recognized as part and parcel of the broader strategic stakes.
