Thirty three children, 32 women and 20 men from 12 families were killed in the "massacre,"
“Media outlets should not be targeted in military actions,” UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Director-General Irina Bokova said in a statement, citing a Security Council resolution from 2006 that condemns acts of violence against journalists and media personnel in conflict situations.
“The NATO strike is also contrary to the principles of the Geneva Conventions that establish the civilian status of journalists in times of war even when they engage in propaganda,”

What is happening in London shows that the elite don't call the shots
We shall unleash the Nihilists and Atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effects of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will be from that moment without compass, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.

ZLITEN, Libya - Libyan authorities on Tuesday accused NATO of a "massacre" of 85 villagers in air strikes in support of rebels, whose political leadership was in crisis after the sacking of its top officials.
The village of Majer, 10 kilometres south of Zliten in western Libya, was attacked late on Monday to try to help rebel fighters enter the government-held city from the south, government spokesman Mussa Ibrahim said.
"After the first three bombs dropped at around 11 p.m. local time on Monday, many residents of the area ran to the bombed houses to try to save their loved ones. Three more bombs struck," he told reporters on an organized visit.
Thirty-three children, 32 women and 20 men from 12 families were killed in the "massacre," Mussa said.
Journalists saw four destroyed buildings, as local officials said more casualties were still buried under the rubble. A single bulldozer at the scene, however, stood idle.
In the hospital morgue, 30 bodies — including two children and one woman — were shown along with other bodies which had been torn apart.
NATO, which launched its air campaign at the end of March under UN resolutions to protect civilians against Gadhafi's forces, insisted the raids near Zliten were "legitimate" and that it had no evidence of the civilian deaths.
"We do not have evidence of civilian casualties at this stage," the NATO spokesman for the alliance's Libya campaign, Colonel Roland Lavoie, said from his Naples, Italy headquarters.
NATO raids south of Zliten were against two former farms used for military purposes by Gadhafi forces, he said. "This was a military facility clearly . . . NATO takes extreme precaution not to harm innocent civilians living or working nearby."

so you would prefer a dictatorship with corruption and torture ?
why hasnt the ghaddafi regime not called for new elections inthe beginning, when the uproar started ? did they think, they would loose it ?
or are you saying that nato is basically the same kind of "regime" but on a bigger scale ?
Because Qaddafi doesn't rule Libya, he is merely a respected and loved man
