From the daily blog:

New footage has emerged from the first moments of the uprising in Libya, showing gunmen - who appear to be Gaddafi loyalists - shooting unarmed protesters dead.

With armed men dragging people from Benghazi's mosque, others were left to die on the streets.

Al Jazeera's Sue Turton reports from the city.

1. Loyalists as in civilians, mercenaries, or military?

[Godhumor]

2. Military, it appears

The video shows pretty clear shots of uniforms.

3. Doctored. Big Oil got to Al-Jazeera...

...they need to demonize Qadaffi, because until he's gone, they can't get their hands on his oil. They've been after it for years.

Oh, wait a minute....

4. Every piece of information that does not agree with your

point of view is doctored by the corporatist, oil company owned rightwing media. Facts can often be unpleasant, live it.

7. I think his post falls under an invisible sarcasm tag n/t

5. It was just a "historical reenactment" They were playing The Rape of Nanking

Our heroic Libyan soldiers naturally had to take the role of the Japanese Imperial Army, since they all had uniforms and guns. You're just taking this out of context!

6. Bumping to front, so people can see Gaddafi's dealing with protestors

Think this should get a little more face time.

8. And one last bump for the morning crew

Still think this is an important video from the beginning of the uprising.
