Qaddafi; Friend of America

Qaddafi is/was the friend of America. Straight from the horse’s mouth, the New York Times, the military industrial complex writes (under the pseudonym Rod Nordland),
TRIPOLI, Libya — Documents found at the abandoned office of Libya’s former spymaster appear to provide new details of the close relations the Central Intelligence Agency shared with the Libyan intelligence service — most notably suggesting that the Americans sent terrorism suspects at least eight times for questioning in Libya despite that country’s reputation for torture.
Although it has been known that Western intelligence services began cooperating with Libya after it abandoned its program to build unconventional weapons in 2004, the files left behind as Tripoli fell to rebels show that the cooperation was much more extensive than generally known with both the C.I.A. and its British equivalent, MI-6.
Some documents indicate that the British agency was even willing to trace phone numbers for the Libyans, and another appears to be a proposed speech written by the Americans for Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi about renouncing unconventional weapons
Just the latest in a long list of despots, whackos, and people you wouldn’t want to bring home to meet mamma that the US has cuddled up with. Think of the Shah of Iran, Gen. Pinochet (who overthrew the democratically elected government of Chile on Sept. 11th (1973).
I agree. There is no surprise here. Just business as usual for the US.
