free to go wherever they want in libya to cover the story. that too is not true. yesterday reporters in tripoli were told they would be shot dead for merely going up on the hotel roof. late tonight new word that a bbc news team trying to get to zawia was detained for 21 hours, beaten by members of the army and secret police. hooded and subjected to a mock execution. they were finally released and managed to get out of libya. so did alex crawford, the sky news reporter, who spent three days in zawia, witnessing the repeated attacks by gadhafi forces against civilians with no military training. libyan civilians who simply want an end to the rule of gadhafi. i spoke to alex and we'll play you a lot of the interview, because it clearly shows what gadhafi is doing to his own people. and remember, as you listen to alex, gadhafi does not want you to hear what she is saying. he's trying to cover up what's happened to zawia, but thanks to alex crawford, he has failed.
