15. Journalists
16. SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Moammar Gadhafi, Libyan leader:
"If the world does not interfere to defend and protect the Palestinians, at least the Arab states should interfere to protect the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, because what is taking place in Palestine now is not a conflict, war - it is sheer genocide, complete genocide, massacre to our people. And the same thing is happening in Iraq."
17. Flag
18. SOUNDBITE: (English) Saeb Erekat, Palestinian Cabinet Minister:
"The atrocities and the crimes committed against our people in Rafah deserve the strongest condemnation from President Bush and the American administration. The crimes committed, the killing of 55 people, mostly women and children, the demolition of homes, the eviction of thousands of people from their homes, I think deserve the full and strong condemnation of the American administration."

20. SOUNDBITE: (English) Amr Moussa, Secretary-General, Arab League:

22. SOUNDBITE: (English) Amr Moussa, Secretary-General, Arab League:
"As for Iraq, we will see what Lakhdar Brahimi will come up with. We are ready to help the UN but we help genuine change."
23. Road outside venue, soldier, summit sign
STORYLINE:
Arab leaders meeting on Saturday for their annual summit were united in outrage over the prisoner abuse scandal in U.S.-occupied Iraq, according to draft resolutions that also condemned terrorism, reiterated calls for Arab-Israeli peace and put Arab nations on the road to political and economic reform.
President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali opened the session, saying Arabs "look forward to results that would rise to their ambitions of cooperation and solidarity," but signs of the divisions that have long troubled inter-Arab relations quickly emerged.
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi walked out of the opening session while Amr Moussa, the Egyptian Arab League secretary-general, was still speaking.
Diplomats said the Libyan leader was apparently irked by Moussa's criticism of Arabs who act unilaterally - a veiled reference to Libya's decision to renounce its programs to develop weapons of mass destruction.
Eight other leaders didn't show up, including four for apparent political reasons.
Gadhafi's motorcade left the summit venue, brakes screeching.
Later on he switched his trademark flowing brown robe and cap for a white business suit and black collarless shirt, and called a news conference in which he ridiculed the gathering and threatened to pull Libya out of the Arab League.

Yes humanity did deserve him. The unfortunate part is the elite rulers of this planet are pure evil and destroy all that is good and create wars where there are none. They lie and create division and indebt all for the control. They control the money, the media, the food supply and every leader on the planet. They play ball or they die. WAKE UP TO THE TRUTH !
