In the "Libya under Gadaffi" section, Gadaffi's name is mentioned in 5 sentences:
In the early 1970s, Gaddafi created the Revolutionary Committees as conduits for raising political consciousness, with the aim of direct political participation by all Libyans rather than a traditional party-based representative system.
During the early 1980s, these committees had considerable power and became a growing source of tension within the Jamihiriya, to the extent that Gaddafi sometimes criticized their effectiveness and excessive repression, until the power of the Revolutionary Committees were eventually restricted in the late 1980s.
In 1988, Gaddafi criticized the excessive measures taken by the Revolutionary Councils, stating that "they deviated, harmed, tortured" and that "the true revolutionary does not practise repression.
Gaddafi openly condemned the use of torture, as a criticism against several Revolutionary Committees that had condoned the use of torture.
The rebels have used torture against many suspected Gaddafi supporters, targeting black Africans in particular.
So the guy gives everyone free education, free healthcare, condemns torture, swears he'll house all Libyans before his own family, but there's an enormous amount of shade on him?
You give me one of your politicians who has accomplished a tenth of this one guy.(personally I'd like to be able to walk in a people's congress and express my opinions -- damn, I forgot, they don't exist!)
