15. Like the Kuwaiti incubator babies? Mass rape allegations questioned by Amnesty

Because the mass rape reports, supposedly ordered by Gaddafi, turned out to be largely false, I wonder if the "Gaddafi raped girls" is another one of those false allegations.

Human rights organisations have cast doubt on claims of mass rape and other abuses perpetrated by forces loyal to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, which have been widely used to justify Nato's war in Libya.

Nato leaders, opposition groups and the media have produced a stream of stories since February 15 claiming the Gaddafi regime has ordered mass rapes, used foreign mercenaries and employed helicopters against civilian protesters.

An investigation by Amnesty International has failed to find evidence for these human rights violations and in many cases has discredited or cast doubt on them.

It also found indications that on several occasions Benghazi rebels appeared to have knowingly made false claims or manufactured evidence.
