Libya. >> reporter: the road outside benghazi today is a graveyard of gadhafi's armored vehicles, destroyed by western air strikes. after an hour and a half driving south flanked by desert, we reached the rebels' front line. there are no trenches or sandbags, just men poorly armed that want to fight. the frontline is about five miles outside the town of ajdabiya. rebels watch with binoculars, but can't advance. outgunned, rebels say they are killed whenever they approach gadhafi's forces. we have light weapons, he has tanks, complained one man. another rebel showed me he isn't actually armed a...
