And now the threats start coming in ...

I just received my first threatening phone call from Libya. A family member , who was obviously intimidated to call me, convied an unveiled threat that if I don't stop writing I can expect reprisals against my family back in Libya.

I was expecting this , it is in the very nature of the Libyan regime to try to intimidate and threaten Libyans inside and outside the country to stop them from their most basic and simple of human rights, to voice their own opinions.

So now I offer the following question to the likes of David Welch, the US Assistant Secretory of State -- who receives this list -- and who was behind the US-Libyan secret and not so secret agreements: are you Sir now satisfied that an American citizen is being intimidated and threatened by your new friends?... are you Sir now satisfied that the constitutional rights of an American citizen to speak freely are being threatened by a foreign government?...
