President Obama is having a rough time— Isis beheading a journalist, Ferguson, Mo.'s shit show, Israel vs. Palestine, Russia invading the Ukraine, displaced immigrant children and bombing in Libya— but let’s talk about his suit. Yesterday, the POTUS wore a tan ensemble during a conference that was reportedly…

Though the details surrounding the announcement are hazy, Libyan Justice Minister Salah al-Marghani said Wednesday that the country had created a law that would acknowledge the women raped during the 2011 uprising that removed Muammar Qaddafii from power, as well as compensate them.

Hillary Clinton almost lost her calm, collected cool while testifying today on Capitol Hill about the Benghazi attack that killed four Americans and somewhat scarred her otherwise A++ track record as Secretary of State. (And possible 2016 presidential candidate. If we should be so lucky.)

Hillary Clinton had a particularly shitty holiday season: she suffered a concussion after fainting from dehydration caused by a stomach virus earlier this month and, last night, was hospitalized after doctors found a related blood clot in an unspecified place.

Are you sick of unabashed Hillary Clinton fangirling? Then you probably shouldn't read this.

Remember when we couldn't get enough of blackberry-wielding, ball-busting, suddenly-cool-to-love Hillary Clinton? Probably, because just last month her job-approval ratings were nearly 70% and some Democrats were already getting amped about the potential for a 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential run.

Last night, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told CNN that she takes responsibility for the attacks on the US Embassy in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of four Americans. Predictably, people who don't like President Obama have taken this opportunity to accuse Hillary Clinton of playing patsy to the boys,…

At this mile marker along the long and sinuous road to the White House and Capitol Hill, the Republican party's election jalopy is starting to show signs of strain. Most of its tires are out of air. Its windshield is so caked with splattered bugs that no one can see out of it and no one will use the Devil's mechanical…

Editor's note: We have since added additional pixelation to all of the images, including those of the attackers. This post is ultimately about the existence of a video, thus the images ARE the story — without them, there's nothing. To remove them would be, in effect, to un-report the story. Which is not going to…

When Muammar Gaddafi fled Libya, he left behind about 1,000 ostriches, along with herds of cattle, camels, sheep, and goats. He made no provisions to care for the animals, so they were dying — but now volunteers are feeding them and giving them medical care. Says volunteer Mohamad Al Majdoub, "They are part of Libya's…

The title of a new book about Barack Obama's presidency is Confidence Men. It suggests, among other revelations, that Obama only had confidence in men.

An audio message from Muammar Qaddafi has appeared on Syrian television, although his physical whereabouts are still unknown. The defiant speech included the lines, "We will fight in every valley, in every street, in every oasis, and every town. We won't surrender again; we are not women; we will keep fighting."

In the early days of the Libya rebellion, the fatigue-clad, heavily made-up women that surrounded Muammar Qaddafi became a source of international amusement. But Qaddafi's eccentricity could distract from the brutality, including with those same bodyguards, several of whom have now told a Benghazi psychologist that…

In 1986, Muammar Qaddafi claimed that his baby daughter had died in the U.S. bombing of his compound. Now that rebels and journalists have been prowling the Tripoli headquarters abandoned by the dictator, they have pretty persuasive proof that he was lying.

The hunt is on for Muammar Qaddafi and other high-level members of his regime who fled after the rebels stormed Tripoli. For now, there are the spoils in his compound — including an album full of photos of Condoleezza Rice.

Iman al-Obeidi is finally in the United States two months after she was deported back to Libya and began fighting to leave the country again. Obeidi spent 54 days in a U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees facility in Romania and arrived in New York last Wednesday. She then took a flight to the undisclosed location that…

There is little that could be considered "good news" out of Libya these days, not for its people and not for the journalists trying to send word out to the world. But here is a small piece of it: Clare Morgana Gillis, a reporter who was captured there April 5 and has been missing since, says she is alive and well.

Unsolicited Uterus Update? Angelina Jolie has a new tattoo, so obviously she is pregnant! Or adopting. The new ink is a seventh set of geographical coordinates on her arm. She had six lines of markers there — one for each child — and now, suddenly, a seventh. Some are speculating that Angie is adopting from Haiti. […

CNN says it has conducted two phone interviews with Iman al-Obeidi, the woman who burst into a Tripoli hotel to describe her brutal gang-rape. Obeidi says she has been repeatedly kidnapped, beaten, and released since then. She also told a Libyan opposition site, "Had the media not taken interest in my case, I would…
