Nothing much for me to add, other than it’s good to see that at least a few of the French are up in arms about it. Oh, and the cameraman’s has received death threats – who could have seen that coming?

This is related: Gaddafi: Europe will ‘turn black’ unless EU pays Libya £4bn a year. Unless the beloved leader of Libya gets his extortion money, he’ll unleash his hordes.

And this is unrelated, but I watched this video for the second time yesterday and it reinforced the message: Never Talk to the Police: fantastic lecture by a lawyer on why talking to the police is a very bad idea, accompanied by many examples. If they want to get you, they’ll do everything in their power to do so, so keep your trap shut. If you’re like me – and probably most readers here are in this respect – you trust the police and understand that they need to function properly for the good of society. It’s precisely people like you and me who need to hear this lecture, because we are the ones most likely to believe that there can’t be any harm in talking to the cops. Wrong.
