(Il Giornale) - But how many deaths in Libya? One thousand, two thousand or ten thousand? And how many cities have fallen into the hands of insurgents? Two, three, ten? The Libyan crisis is full of sensational and shocking news so much as of dubious reliability. We are all horrified to learn that Gaddafi had ordered air force to bomb the crowd, But that fact does not confirm the bishop of Tunis, along with other witnesses. Phone calls from Libya are very difficult and online interrupted: but every day dramas emerge either for or against the regime. We have seen that the mass graves, but it did not seem so common. They were, rather, sixteen holes in the ground as those that are dug in each cemetery. The TV of Tripoli, however, transmits images of thousands of Libyans rejoicing in the streets to demonstrate that the Colonel is loved and still firmly in power. Who lies? Useless, asking this question, all lie. As in any crisis. Movies with corpses or destruction may be related to events that occurred years ago or in another country and just tighten the field lens to make it appear a few dozen people in the square a crowd almost oceanic.
Remember the black cormorant the first Gulf War, a symbol of Saddam's ruthlessness that - then we were told - had opened the pipelines? It was a fake. And the massacre in Timisoara in Romania during the uprising against Ceausescu? Never existed. At the time of the last war in Iraq, the media spread a huge amount of nonsense, but for which no one noticed in real time. In fact, almost anyone. The few doubtful voices usually end up overwhelmed by the force of breaking news, from breaking news and therefore a overwhelming excitement. Stun or impress. Drag or depressing. Exalt or frighten. What matters is the immediate effect. Modern wars are won also, and above all, on average.

(Il Giornale) - The historic Angelo Del Boca deep knowledge of the country "That beach is an old cemetery. And where are the bodies? "
'graves? Ten thousand dead? Fifty injured? Boom! Angelo Del Boca, 85, mutters in disbelief over the phone. Writer, partisan, historical "biography" of Gaddafi (we did a book of 400 pages) Del Boca was the first to denounce the atrocities carried out by Italian troops in Libya when on the "sand box" waving the flag.
No mass graves, then.
"But no, no. The images that we all have seen are those of Asiah cemetery in the west, where the city ends. It's an area I know well, like the rest of Tripoli, after all. But then, if we think, what we saw? Holes, pits, and the people who stood beside him. And the bodies? Corpses? Those who saw them? ".
Yet the budget that is ready-made. Ten thousand dead and fifty injured ... All propaganda?
"Certainly if you put around these figures point to make it worse the picture of Gaddafi. And God knows if needed. But we realize what it means to fifty thousand injured? Not all hospitals would be enough in North Africa. Son bales, I think. I have three witnesses that I trust. Independent, series, as the lawyer Anwar Fekini, graduated from the Sorbonne, the grandson of Mohammed that Fekini who was leader of the resistance in Tripoli from 1911 to 1931. Well. Fekini speaks a thousand, two thousand dead. "
What will become of Colonel Gaddafi?
"Mah I waited until the last to come out of the scene as Ben Ali of Tunisia, like Mubarak, with his court and his loot. But Qaddafi is not a coward. It is a criminal, but has its own glittering greatness. "
A Shakespearean character ...
"Exactly. A man of great intellect, educated. Yes, I'm sorry that Colonel human adventure has led her to a final doom. It's a dead end. But not surrender. It will kill. "

"What do exist. Libya was an aggregate of 130 clan. It was he to make a nation, driving the Americans and British, and finally Italians. "
Then the conviction to be just one step below the swept the Almighty. How Saddam Hussein. Two fates mirror.
"As the rais of Baghdad, including Gaddafi's dream of becoming the Caliph, the great leader of all Arabs. It's a dream that has cultivated a long time, until in 2000 he realized that was not feasible. "

"Gathering together 54 heads of state and government, he appointed" king of kings "as the Negus. Exaggerations, posture and clothing, were directed to that audience. " What does the leader
glowing, unreachable, a kind of dream vision in Technicolor.
"Gaddafi was thinking of a foreign policy in an economy, an army in common. A criminal, I repeat. A criminal who in the Sixties and Seventies sent his goons around Europe to eliminate his enemies. But not a fool, believe me. "
She has spoken several times. What did you think of the mythical Green Paper, the Enlightenment in the Islamic sauce?
"I made the request. I said point blank. "Honestly - he said - was a failure. Libya is a country black, dark, not at all green."
