sons are in custody and now the people control the streets. this is a real euphoric moment. general, talk to he me a little about taking saef gaddafi, the son, basically the public relations space for this regime for the last six months. and gaddafi s son in custody and as far as we know, he hasn t been harmed, he hasn t been killed. what does that tell you about maybe the organization or the focus of the rebels at this point? okay, harris, remember, now, said was going to be the intermediary, the sort of halfway point between an awe to beingsy and democracy and that s gone now. he s under custody and the libyan people are now in control and no longer do the libyan people have to look forward to sort of an immediate steps of democracy, they ve fallen off the cliff and into the arms of democracy and perhaps the influence of the united states and n.a.t.o. and it s time to step back and for them to look at their
the latest from our journalist in libya. rebel forces making major progress, preaching the green square in the center of the capital city. while a son of the dictator muammar gaddafi has been detained. the international criminal court confirming that a short while ago. gaddafi s location at this point uncertain, unknown, but we have a correspondent on the border with tunisia, there s been some talk maybe he might go across that border because we ve seen some of his defectors high in his government and the last 72 hours cross over that border as they defect. we re joined by kt mcfarland, a fox news national security analyst and worked across the america s of nixon, ford and reagan and you have a lot of experience waving things fall in that part of the world. and, but this dictator has been there for 42 years, what does this mean? well, that means a couple of things, one, he s been a state sponsor of terrorism and
