On Reporting from Tripoli

The World

The New York Times’ David Kirkpatrick has been in Tripoli reporting on the situation in Libya. He is in the country with the permission of the Gadhafi regime and is only allowed to leave his hotel when his minders take him and other journalists outside. He talks about the latest developments in Libya and what it’s like to report on the situation with a minder at his back.
