How Fascism Works

The footage being carried by CNN and others of how an alleged rape victim is manhandled and brazenly kidnapped by the thugs in the Libyan security forces tells you all you want to know about the character of the regime. In any civilized country in the world, the outburst of this woman would have not risen beyond the level of hotel security.  And the police would have taken her testimony instead of spiriting her way, beating the press and smashing their cameras. This is a thug regime in Tripoli and this smashede sooner it is smashed, the better.

By the way, looking at the video below which includes additional footage, I'm wondering if the Libyan government spokesman we see is actually our commenter AV2TS.  It sure sounds like something he would say.
