Guttenberg geht


Mit einer dramatischen Abschiedserklärung hat der deutsche Verteidigungsminister Guttenberg (CSU) die Konsequenzen aus seinem Plagiatsskandal gezogen. Der Rücktritt sei der „schmerzlichste Schritt meines Lebens“, er sei mit „Herzblut“ bei der Arbeit gewesen. Doch nun sei er am Ende seiner Kräfte angelangt, so Guttenberg. Die Opposition warf Guttenberg vor, den nötigen Schnitt zu spät und in „unanständiger“ Weise gemacht zu haben. Die CSU will Guttenberg in der Politik halten - doch die Opposition zweifelt an einem Comeback.

Revealed: UK’s secret £10 billion talks with Libya


The British Government was brokering a secret deal worth up to £10 billion with Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s regime before Libya descended into chaos, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt.

For the past 18 months a dedicated Foreign Office unit has been supporting lawyers fighting to win compensation for UK victims of IRA bombs built with Libyan-supplied explosives.

The team was in the advanced stages of discussing a “Victims’ Initiative” package with key members of Gaddafi’s regime.

The possible agreement would have included payouts for the 150 families of those killed and injured bringing the claim, as well as a huge “cultural and social” investment focusing on reconciliation projects, much of it in Northern Ireland.

Clinton urges Gaddafi to step down


Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, has said the government of Muammar Gaddafi must be held to account over atrocities committed in Libya as she reiterated calls for the leader to step down.

Speaking at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland on Monday, Clinton said Gaddafi must leave power "now, without further violence or delay".

"Gaddafi and those around him must be held accountable for these acts, which violate international legal obligations and common decency," she said.

Dealing with Dictators: My Meeting with Muammar


About a year and a half ago, I spent some time with Muammar Gaddafi. He was in New York City to address the U.N. General Assembly and was staying in a nondescript concrete building on Manhattan's East Side. Through the American p.r. firm that managed his Western press coverage, Gaddafi had agreed to be interviewed by Michael Elliott, the editor of TIME International, and me. Michael and I made our way through a gauntlet of machine-gun-toting cops, secret-service agents and assorted swarthy tough guys. While we waited for Gaddafi, members of his all-female praetorian guards paced the room, dressed in desert khakis, black berets and leopard-skin stiletto heels. We were given only one ground rule for the interview: when directing questions to Gaddafi, we were to refer to him as "Brother Leader."
