Obama and NATO's reaction to Libya
Momentum Grows for No-Fly Zone over Libya
NATO has deployed reconnaissance aircraft to establish 24-hour surveillance of Libya. CNN reports British, French and U.S. officials are working on a draft U.N. Security Council text that includes language on setting up a no-fly zone in Libya. On Monday, President Obama addressed the crisis in Libya.
President Obama: "I want to send a very clear message to those who are around Colonel Gaddafi. It is their choice to make how they operate moving forward, and they will be held accountable for whatever violence continues to take place there. In the meantime, we’ve got NATO, as we speak, consulting in Brussels around a wide range of potential options, including potential military options, in response to the violence that continues to take place inside of Libya."

View the ABC news report and one of the other two (Al Jazerra or CNN) which report about Mubarak and how much he is worth. CBS and the other news stories report 2 very different numbers when they report Mubarak's worth. What are the two numbers? Why do you think the numbers are so different? Is there bias here? Why? How does this connect to Rome and the overthrow of the Umayyads?
