trying to keep track of the sites, via satellite, maybe people on the ground, but they ve got about 10 tons of mustard gas and some 20,000 shoulder-fired missiles? this is the critical part from our perspective, where is this stuff, how do we get our hands on it, how do we make sure it doesn t get into the hand of either any kind of qaddafi guerilla insurgent movement or into the international black market. we ve got to assume there are british and french pressure spaces special operations forces, probably the cia on the ground, that s probably why you ve had such success in the last ten days with the rebel forces. gregg: it s worrisome that the journ rists journalists appear to be trapped in the hotel, contained by holdouts, qaddafi loyalists. is it possible that qaddafi might be trying to use them as pawns, or dare i say hostages? absolutely. you know, qaddafi is playing for his life. he knows that the minute he s captured he goes to the international criminal courts, he ll b
