So its -- youre correct, its not a question of him departing to some secure location. its really a question of him being forced out of office, if he has to, surrendering to the icc if his deranged mind gets us to that point. yes, it is true, once hes indicted he will have to face that fate. and thats just the reality now with the international criminal court. >> ambassador, jim traub with "the new york times" magazine. you rightly mention that it isnt only gadhafi but people around him who have ...

Anything. >>clayton: is it a threat to our national security? is that why we go into a country? a poll shows in libya, a threat to our national security, and 45 percent saying, no, and 35 saying yes and 20 percent saying "unsure." >> the 45 percent say we should not get in situations if our national security is not threatened and perhaps it is in yemen and syria but stay tuned with this, more with gingrich and governor huckabee ahead. a four day manhunt for an alleged cop killer in georgia is ov...

But its early days and weve already seen that moammar gadhafi will stop at nothing to put down this rebellion. so people are very worried here. >> and do you know how organized the military thats gone over to the protesters side, thats now against gadhafi, do we know how organized it is, how many of them there are, what kind of weapons they have? >> reporter: numbers are not clear. actually, what happened was that after the civilians took over the city, there were a lot of people who basically t...

Surrendering them to this ad hoc government. its not at all clear how much hardware is still available to the people here. there were several large bases in the area, and they do seem to have taken control of all of them. we havent seen any tanks in the street or any aircraft that they have. so its not clear really how much they can really -- they can get their hands on. >> lets hope it doesnt come to that. ben wedeman, thank you for the reports. coming up, cant talk about libya and the entire...
