Arm the reporters too!
So if they have nothing to shoot, they can shoot at somebody and the shoot it.
(hope my pun attempt didn't fail completely)

Just like this reporter clown we had here in the 90's. He hired some village nazis, dressed them up in white hoods, let them dance around a campfire and filmed it to prove that the KKK is active in Germany. He got good money for it - sadly he lost most in the fraud trial...

Some journalists are armed and have even own bodyguards with amplification weapons

Stuff I saw on the BBC tonight.

Libyan citizens have taken a Libyan military airbase that was used to staging point for foreign mercenaries and captured a number of MiG-27 Fighter-Bombers. They also liberated a fortified SA-2 Site.

Also a pair of pilots bailed out of their jet over the desert rather than bomb civilians.

Qaddafi apparently still has loyal forces armed with Mi-24 gunships and Su-22 Fitter bombers.

An SA-2 site...trés interessant...

You know, the evil conniving SOB in me is tugging at my arm and saying that if they happened to shoot down a civilian evacuating airline with an SA-2 and claim it was Gadaffi then a lot of their hard work would be done for them courtesy of the USAF....

British oil worker Bryan Richards describes scenes of 'mass hysteria' at Tripoli Airport (The amateur video accompanying this interview is purportedly recent footage of the scene in Libya)

The area controlled by Libya's embattled leader Col Muammar Gaddafi is shrinking, reports say, as the opposition consolidates its gains.

Witnesses say the capital, Tripoli, is heavily guarded by pro-Gaddafi forces, with tanks deployed in the suburbs.

Videos on the internet suggest a town 50km (30 miles) west of Tripoli has fallen to anti-government forces.

Thousands of foreigners are meanwhile still trying to flee Libya through ports, airports and overland.

The US, China and many European countries have sent in planes, ships and ferries to help people flee.

If Reagan were president yeah but the Carter clone we have in the White House now would not do anything besides issue a, belated, weakly worded condemnation.

If there was a Reagan clone in the white house he would probably invade Belize, support Daffy and sell missiles to Bin-Laden
