#1 slightly OT: I read somewhere that Mo has cancer - does anyone else know if that's true? Pending proof of mortality tends to focus the mind

#2 You probably read it here, last month. Original source was an article in Defense & Foreign Affairs Daily, which is usually very reliable. They say it's terminal, so I've got my sympathy card all picked out.

#4 As a follow-up, Gary Farber has a paragraph-by-paragraph translation of the interview into English from Mad-Dictatorspeak.

#5 Granted that Muammar got the message when we bombed his pad. I cannot believe, though, that this tiger will change his stripes. Has anyone heard of him possibly acquiring WMD, nasty bugs, magic chemicals, etc. through proxies, like Saddam or NKor. They all need foreign exchange, and perish the thought that oil money should go to the people to better their lot.....

#6 Muammar's scheduled by God to begin decomposition, sometime this year if he really does have late-stage cancer. Unless he goes into remission, his concerns right now are split between making plans for the Sweet By and By and wondering when that next morphine shot's coming. Even if it's not as bad as made out, he's not getting any younger with each day that passes, and he's thinking in terms of preserving his dynasty after he does become worm food.
