Gaddafi Faked Civilian Deaths

 Now this is low: In an interview airing on Sunday, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates says Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi and his forces are heaping dead bodies on the sites of last week's allied airstrikes so they can blame the West for death tolls, according to U.S. intelligence reports. Last week, Libyan officials counted 100 in a civilian death toll after the coalition airstrikes, while Western officials insisted no civilians had been killed, and that the goal of military intervention is to protect civilians. Meanwhile, John Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations—and possible GOP candidate in 2012—has a decidedly undiplomatic solution to the crisis in Libya. He tells Lloyd Grove we should assassinate the dictator.
