Meanwhile, Qaddafi is continuing to use Human Shields in an evil way. From Andrew Gilligan:

Even for an Arab dictator, it is an unusually cynical variant of the “human shield” gambit. On the roof of his Tripoli command bunker, Colonel Gaddafi has installed a children’s fairground.Forty feet away from the crater made on Thursday by a NATO bomb, young boys and girls played happily on a roundabout shaped like a giant tea set.We had been brought deep inside Gaddafi’s leadership compound, which takes up at least a full square mile of Tripoli city centre, to witness what the regime called “Nato’s madness” in attacking women and children.But the trip succeeded only in showing that if anyone has put civilians in harm’s way, it is the government of Libya. Also near the top of the bunker, which is covered with grass, civilians have been brought to live in tents, ready to sacrifice themselves for the good of their leader.”This is a place of recreation, a public park where the people of Tripoli often come,” insisted Moussa Ibrahim, the government spokesman. But this “public park” is reached by passing through no fewer than four concentric rings of 15-foot blast walls, checkpoints and sentry towers. Heavily armed guards stand around the outermost perimeter, moving on any passer-by who might mistake the place for somewhere to throw a frisbee.Bv……..y Andrew Gilligan in Tripoli 8:00PM BST 14 May 2011Even for an Arab dictator, it is an unusually cynical variant of the “human shield” gambit.
