Gadhafi Orders Sabotage Of Pipelines

Unfortunately for the people of Libya, Moammar Gadhafi does not plan to go quietly.  According to Time columnist Robert Baer, a source close to Gadhafi says that the leader has ordered the sabotage of Libya's pipelines. According to Baer's source Gadhafi plans to turn Libya into another Somalia, rather than surrender power.  If these reports are true, and Libya's pipelines were disrupted or destroyed, it could prove even more difficult for any post-Gadhafi government to get Libya back on track.  Furthermore, if the pipelines were sabotaged, it could also jeopardize oil supplies in Europe, raising oil prices even higher. Of course much of this could just be the final posturing of  a desperate leader, but it is hard to tell with the often quixotic Gadhafi.
