NATO: A Divided Mission in Libya?
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in Berlin attending NATO meetings, where members of the alliance are debating whether to step up their attacks on Libyan forces. Meanwhile, Libyan rebels are warning of an imminent blood bath in the city of Misurata if NATO does not intensify their air attacks. Thursday, Col.

Borzou Daragahi, Middle East correspondent for The Los Angeles Times has been reporting from Libya.
