. >> reporter: tony blair's wife denies ever hanging out with saif gadhafi. >> i found it extraordinaryt a similar, not even a remotely similar platform. >> reporter: but this is site sound? >> they can do it for free on twitter which is much more effective. >> reporter: and many celebs do. >> twitter is not the only way. i'm using that as an example. loads of celebrities have blogs. >> reporter: maybe they don't want their website sullied with rebuttals of that kind of stuff. >> there is that. >> reporter: and that's what tang is trying to kraecreate. a sort of garbage away from the fluffy stuff on your website or the 140 characters on twitter. >> that is a permanent correction juxtaposed against accusation in one fingertip click. >> reporter: is it worthwhile? >> i think it's a very old fashioned way of handling what is a new problem. >> reporter: business, so far, is slow. >> we are very, very new sight. it would take time to evolve. >> reporter: so, just for now, i'll stick to twitter. on the night in question, i was playing chess with my nephew. anyway, hot tubs make me itchy. i'm

saif islam. i have a quotation which is an elaboration.ave no doubt that the overwhelming majority of libyans stand with my father and see the rebels as fundamentalist terrorists stirred up from abroad. he calls upon the libyan people to accept an election at the same time that he insists that they are terrorists stirred up by troublemakers from abroad. >> do you believe that president obama should comply with the war powers act and get formal congressional authorization for what the u.s. and the nato allies are doing as far as military campaign in libya is concerned? >> i think no such things. i think some members of congress are really, in my opinion, basically kind of fishing in troubled waters. look, most presidents have looked at the war powers resolution and ignored it. i think what the administration is doing, it is saying this is short of a war. it is kind of on the horns of a dilemma, the obama administration. it fights this war but it is not really wholly committed to it. then, some members of congress, the republicans that have

>> i spoke to the grand old man of syrian opposition, rais -- raid saif. he shows how bloody minded the opposition have become. they have no confidence in the government. >> after at least 1300 lost their life for the revolution, after 1000 injured, and tens of thousands arrested -- now we say there is no way to go back to the old situation. syria belongs to the syrians. syria does not belong to the assad family. they should have been stopped. it is in us. the syrians would never accept that. >> do people acknowledge that president aside -- assad has support in certain quarters, perhaps concentrated in the army, a powerful institution? >> i could not talk to the army or any of the elite who think along the lines of the president. one thing i did ask people is that up until now it has been thought that at least assad did guarantee some form of stability for the country. so the community were in support of him. but many people and spoke to in the business community said that is gone. there is so much corruption. the country cannot develop. it cannot move unt

tripoli that fall under that condition that they were all targeting military targets did you feel saif. well there were a bombing every night you could feel the hotel room shake when the when the bombs they were actually hitting the khadafi military compound which is in downtown tripoli which was not very far from our hotel but we were also taken to the home of qaddafi's son where they killed the son and the three grandchildren and it was quite clear that there was no military value this was a residence. the neighboring residents were also heavily damaged and the embassy of cote d'ivoire was just a few doors down so there was no the only thing i saw in the khadafi compound what was left of it was a petting zoo where khadafi actually was feeding the animals at the time of the attack that's what saved his life and a swing set foosball table and i saw nothing unless unless the pentagon continues considers a foosball table and a swing set to be a military. value let's talk about the russian envoys visit there at the moment the special envoy that is saying that colonel gadhafi does not fit

familiar with those original figure eight thousand came out of here about from these are bigger islam is saif they were prepared in advance. thousands of people were hidden soldiers and drafted back into the. just forces without their families even being informed so there is certainly a great deal of exaggeration in the figure the tribunal is justify its existence it was set up by madeleine albright's to point an accusing finger at the serbs and hide the existence of a joint a criminal conspiracy to destroy the state the science of forms the state of yugoslavia over half a half of the adult population of serbia died to form of elation so he died to form yugoslavia which was destroyed by the west of ours and the hague tribunal is there's a plane an entirely different picture it's the one tunnel most of europe where people are held for years without trial waiting for trial when they're when the revert it is known in advance in fact is even worse than the guantanamo bay of europe because at least there in the guantanamo bay the judges know what the rules are at the hague tribunal is kind of caug

the most important of the sons, saif islam al qaddafi very intelligent wily character who spent much of the last ten years trying toll mend fences with the west. spent a great deal of tim in europe with a principal mover in opening up libya's oil mkets again to western companies and building the hotel on his roof i now stand, which is the most comfortable domaini've ever add in a war zone, a real five-star hotel with cappuccino and wicker chairs in the garden every evening. so he's a wily character. but the western leaders are saying all of em have got to go. >> rose: what's the next shoe to drop? >> well, we had robert gates and others saying ty don't know how long it will take. hague said it could be weeks or months, he even mentioned christmas. i think if we were to listen in to what they are saying to each other, they're geing increasily concerned abo how long this is going to take. they're appealing... the appeal to include members of the present government looks to me like a recognition that their best shotay be literally they have a shot. the one-bullet theory. that is to say

evidence on the ground that gadhafi is close to either resigning, going into exile, that his son, saif is talking to either the united states or anybody else about the terms of declaring defeat? because that is certainly the sensibility we got listening to secretary of state hillary clinton today. >> reporter: yeah, it's very hard to tell on the ground here in misrata because communications are very difficult here. what we can tell you is that when it comes to what's happening on the front lines, and there are three front lines surrounding this city, we are now hearing from commanders that they have gotten new evidence that gadhafi forces are hurting, that they don't have the kind of weapons that they used to have, they don't have as many weapons and seem to be demoralized. they said that they have in the past week had at least one high-ranking military official come over to their side. they have captured three people who they say were women. they say that gadhafi has gotten so desperate he's sending women to the front lines. they captured them, talked to them and released them. they a

hague issuing arrest warrants not just for moammar gadhafi but also for his son, also for his son saifead of libya's security services. what the court said was there was reason to believe that the three are criminally responsible for what they say is the orchestrating, killing, injuring, arrest and imprisonment of hundreds of civilians just during the first 12 days of the uprising against moammar gadhafi. those crimes alleged by the court appear to have taken place largely in the town of za wee ya and also continuing in misrata. what the court is essentially saying is that they're holding these three criminally responsible and are issuing arrest warrants. whether they see the inside of a courtroom is a different issue. the criminal court has no police of its own. moammar gadhafi and the other two would have to travel to a third country to be arrested and that has not ever happened. the safest place that moammar gadhafi could possibly be appears to be in tripoli. >> mark, thank you. >>> a fast moving wildfire is closing in on los alamos national laboratory in new mexico this morning. th
