The amazing thing is that we’ve been seeing a lot. We thought that we’d be extremely managed by the government and we’d only be seeing what they wanted us to. But they’ve been taking us to places where the fighting has been happening. Today, they took us to Zawiyah, about 30 miles west of Tripoli, which is completely under the control of the opposition. This is really bizarre. They took us right into the opposition side.
