UPDATED Gaddafi On Way To Venezuela? (No)
February 21, 2011 - The BBC is seems to have put to rest the rumors about the Libyan dictator fleeing to Venezuela.
BBC News Africa reports late today that Moammar Gaddafi appeared "on state television" to deny the rumors of his departure.
According to BBC, Gaddafi spoke on TV "from outside a ruined building," and said, "I am in Tripoli and not in Venezuela." CNN has posted a video of Gaddafi's television statement.
Rumors flew today that Gaddafi was on his way to Venezuela. Deutsche Presse Agentur reported that, for example, according to Newsmax.com.
There was much confusion about this. Other news sources, such as Rianovosti, said that rumors of Gaddafi fleeing to Venezuela "were dismissed by Venezuelan diplomats and Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Khalid Kayem." Perhaps Venezuela feels that they already have one too many crazy dictators. But...
The Express (UK) reported that "Gaddafi was believed to be on the run last night after fresh bloodshed and violence across Libya." The article goes on to say that he "is believed to have travelled first to his desert hometown before seeking a flight out of the country, possibly to Venezuela. News of his apparent departure came from British Foreign Secretary William Hague who said he had seen information to suggest Gaddafi was on his way" to Venezuela.
One thing seems certain: Libya is headed for civil war and Gaddafi's too-long reign is over.

Venezuelan Man Hunt in the U.S.?
There's something weird and intriguing about this poster.
Most "missing person" posters that are put up by friends or family offer a reward, or urge you to call the police or FBI.
Few "missing person" posters - at least the ones you see in Chicago - involve a guy who is apparently a Venezuelan national who was last seen at an amusement park with two Russian women.
Few "missing person" posters urge us to contact the Venezuelan consulate.
Questions arise: Is this a poster from the Venezuelan consulate? Who, exactly, is trying to find this guy? Note that the poster does not actually say that he is missing. The party that made this poster simply asks us if we've seen this guy. Why? And if he is missing person, do the FBI and local authorities in Ohio know about it? Let's hope this guy - and those two Russian females - are okay. Let's also hope that this not some weird Venezuelan manhunt in the U.S.
