these are Khaffays words.
an address at the end of last year, Qadhafi said the six medics would only be released if a Libyan national serving a prison sentence in Scotland for the 1988 Lockerbie bombing were set free and if Libya received financial compensation for the HIV infections. |
That's not necessarily incompatible with my understanding that it is really the Benghazi lot that are behind it. Just thinking aloud here, but perhaps Qaddafi, despite not being the reason these guys are in gaol, feels the need to look as if he has more control than he does?

With a wave of his hand Khaddafy could set them free. |
I've yet to be convinced of that, Joo. Perhaps he can set them free, but perhaps he feels the political cost to himself would be too dangerous. |
I have never seen anything that said that Qaddaffi has less than absolute power.
He is an evil leader like Saddam Hussein or Kim Il Sung. |
