Gaddafi's men are pushing back into Misrata

And meanwhile, hundreds of Syrians have been charged with "degrading the prestige of the state", a Syrian rights group said, in President Bashar al-Assad's drive to crush pro-democracy protests against his 11-year autocratic rule. This is one stupid thing to charge protesters with because al-Assad's autocratic rule has already degraded the prestige of the state. The mass arrests are continuing across Syria in yet another violation of human rights and international conventions, and it's time the International Criminal Court put out an arrest warrant against that bellend.
