As a propagandist website supporting the anti-Gadaffi uprising, Rueters seems unable to report the war crimes committed by rebels, treatment of journalists by rebels or the fact that the rebels don't have popular support. They trawl through hundreds of subjects until they find one, anonymous anti-Gadaffi voice and report it as a factual representation of public sentiment.

As for humanity - we need to see ourselves at our weakest points, glossing over or covering it up does us no favours. E.

Imagine yourself in this youth’s position, regardless of opinion." Right.
