And then Qaddafi junior, namely Saif al-Islam al-Qaddafi the focus of the revolt in Libya Rapporteur media. "Rivers full of blood "to flow would, he promised, would give the rebels not is hardly a press release here in the UK lack of evidence that Saif had graduated al-Islam at a the elite high schools in the country, and always -. in the German media - followed by the abbreviation: "The second son of Libyan President was far as a moderate"
Moderate Yes Why Because he has admitted that torture dad because he was Father even (o-ho-ho-ho.?? ) on camera contradicted ? Or was it simply the nifty suits, the chic glasses, the polished English, the Superuniabschluss?
The same content against blind enthusiasm for a seemingly "Western" values standing figure of public life in a "rogue state" was then observed in the coverage of Benazir Bhutto . In the months before her violent death, she was suddenly in German newspapers as a "hope for Pakistan", a "democratic alternative" and "vote against" the authoritarian President Musharraf and dangerous Islamists.
Benazir had, as Saif al-Islam, enjoyed an excellent education (at Oxford and Harvard), spoke fluent English as he moved and confidence in international circles. That they, as members of the Bhutto clan just the Feudalpolitik many rich Pakistanis, which accounts for one of the main problems of the country supported, and that they are not as Democrat but because of corruption charges in exile - this was happening in the general jubilation in some way. What a contrast between the skepticism, the horror, the opposite took most of my South Asian friends and colleagues of the politician Benazir and the credulous enthusiasm with which they had hailed repeatedly in the German media.
And now, with Qaddafi junior, the same in green. Time, the use of labels like "moderate" and "radical" rethink in the media again - says the Lieselotte.
