it s a long way for them to push their military force all the way to tripoli. this is what we saw driving to misrata yesterday, rolling countryside, heavy green fields, heavy with agriculture, heavy with farms, and a population that may well stand up against the rebels. that s not clear at this stage. so the rebels, if they are going to do what they want to do, are going to need a lot more pep than they re getting at the moment. much more of a long-term propositi proposition, but it does seem to be emerging behind this military move a greater effort to put pressure on gadhafi to leave the political playing field, not to let his country be destroyed and let others take over the leadership through negotiation. randi? nic, i want to ask you about this woman eman al obeidy, who desperately tried to tell her story to journalists. she was taken away. her family hasn t seen her since. the government there says she s safe.
