    The media is now blaming Libyan government for their own lies about the capture of Gadaffis son and the fighting that's going on. why would Libyan government imprison them? so they can't show NATO dropping bombs all over the city? I would rather believe they just don't want to be outside:

    "Journalists imprisoned in $400-a-night Tripoli hotel

    Back to the $400-a-night prison, with a spa but no power or air conditioning, with candlelight but no romance. With the sound of machine gunfire outside and bullets whistling past the windows, smoke hovering over the Libyan capital"

    The aftermath compromising about 50 people celebrating in the main square of Tripoli, was reminiscent of the media staging following the West's overthrowing of Saddam. Who are these "rebels" and for whom or what do they genuinelly represent?

    There is no reason to doubt this is true.. Every war has a hotel where journalists gather..

    Indeed, a very salient point.
