Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi's security forces detained and beat up a BBC news team who were trying to reach the strife-torn western city of Zawiya.
The three were beaten with fists, knees and rifles, hooded and subjected to mock executions by members of Libya's army and secret police.
The men were detained on Monday and held for 21 hours, but have now flown out of Libya.
Government forces are in a fierce fight to wrest Zawiya from rebel control.
I can tell you the difference between this and Guantanamo Bay: the US wasn't invaded by NATO hell-bent on overthrowing their government.
What the BBC fails to report here is that British SAS troops had been caught in Libya before and during the "homegrown revolution". Or that intel services risk the lives of journalists by routinely going undercover as reporters.
I won't defend war crimes or prisoner abuse. These reporters felt fear but weren't the Libyan soldiers justifiably afraid also?

Libya, this.
America, Guantanamo Bay.
Difference? I think not.
