On Monday, we saw images of Phillipe Douste-Blazy, the French foreign minister in Tripoli with one of the nurses. This seems to be a positive sign that France is involved in efforts to negotiate an end to their ordeal. Douste-Blazy is a doctor and should have a lot of professional background and knowlege. Another bizarre twist is that Gadaffi has actually given a monetary figure as to what it would take to have them released. He is admitting that they are being "held hostage". It is a cash settlement for the death of each of the children that when computed comes to almost exactly the amount Libya had to pay in the Lockerbie settlement!
The sentencing is due to occur in only 4 days. International pressure is beginning to have some effect!
Maybe another famous politician/doctor could make a contribution as a noble gesture on his departure from the US Senate! Bill Frist, it's time for another of your remote video tape diagnosis!

No, don't send Doctor Fristenstein. We don't want to harm any cats in the process.
