Anybody have any current information or news on Libya?

11. I was in Libya in 2006

Visited Tripoli, Leptis Magna, and Tobruk. Spent a beautiful but cold night in the desert. The cities were calm, the people extremely friendly and curious and eager to talk to us. Our translators at Leptis Magna were were university students, both young men and women, who were studying English. I watched them interact like young men and women everywhere -- laughing together, chatting, flirting. Nothing like Saudi Arabia. The women were well-educated, delighted to talk to Americans, and wore only headscarves, as you see in Turkey.

Their tourist industry was just getting started, and what an industry it could have been, as Libya has some of the world's finest archaeological treasures. There were plans for seaside hotels and a major visitor's center near Leptis Magna.

Now it's probably gone. All gone.
