the torture. this weekend we talked to eman as she told us one of colonel gadhafi s sons, sani gadhafi, told her that she s going to be allowed to leave tripoli and go back to her family in the east. we contacted sadi s office and they ve confirmed to us that they ve agreed to help eman leave tripoli. it all sounded like great news for her. after all, she s been repeatedly harassed by libyan state tv and on the streets of tripoli. but so far eman has not left tripoli. i talked to her earlier today. she s terrified to go outside, terrified also that the world will forget her. i spoke with her earlier. you spoke to sadi gadhafi. what did he say about the possibility of leaving tripoli and going back to your home? did he tell you if he s spoken to his father or his brother saif about your case?
we asked if she would come over and meet us. he met her, but she said positive things about him. he was shocked by what had happened to her. he hadn t believed her case before. he believed the government s smear campaign. now he s changed his mind and recognizes that she s a very strong spirited woman and indeed he would like to see her and promised he would help get her out of the country to meet her family. why did he do that? i don t know. i just know what he did and i do know and i did see him face down the government spokesman who came to us afterwards, criticized us, told us we should have never had this interview. he told them apologize to journalists. that s sadi gadhafi you re talking about. are there any updates whether or not she will be able to get out of tripoli? reporter: it s a big issue right now. i do know there had been meetings here late last night as recent as a couple hours ago.

government is perhaps not as committed as it wants the international community to think that it is. that would be a track record that many people would recognize with libya, brooke. i know you had a pretty interesting conversation with moammar gadhafi s son saif when he called you. what did he say? reporter: last night i talked with one of his other sons, sadi gadhafi. he told me that the government was going to change its tactics, its military tactics. this he said was going to take place around the city of benghazi, a city that now president obama has said that the libyans must pull their troops all the way back from there and back from the neighboring town of ajdabiya. he was laying out a scenario for me on the phone, right as the un security council was about to vote. quite literally he called me at the length hour plus, plus,
