>> reporter: this is how we got into misrata, this is a fish trawler. they use this to get aid, mostly medical and food aid into the town of misrata. it's a very, very dangerous thing to do. in the past the pro-gadhafi forces have actually tried to launch small boat attacks on the port of misrata, which is still in the control of 9 opposition. it was this boat that we got into misrata with. they unloaded their aid, we went into town, took a look, and now we're using the boat to get back out. >> when you were in the town of misrata, we saw what happened, the fighting started, there was shelling, you were able to size up think opposition forces to gadhafi. did you get a sense they were up to the job of beating his military? >> i think they would have a difficult time, especially with the weapons they have right now. it's not only the fact that they have rifles, and make some rocket-propelled grenades. they actually make a lot of the weapons they use themselves.
