Libyans a chance “to choose their government ka paul ka paul

Paul’s team provides me with a letter (click here to read it) dated Aug. 19, 2011, from then-Libyan prime minister Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi to President Obama. Copying Paul and his fellow American negotiator in Libya, former member of Congress Walter Fauntroy, on the letter, Mahmoudi writes that Libya, in “joint cooperation with the United States,” will “work jointly in the newfound spirit of cooperation between our governments.” According to the letter, Gaddafi was prepared to “immediately” cease fire in the civil war, give Libyans a chance “to choose their government and the way of governing based on freedom,” and agree to the principle that a political solution in Libya would be reached “without interference” from Gaddafi.
The White House, the State Department, and Clark all did not respond to JNS.org’s requests for comment on the letter.
