The rebels got to the root of the problem

Anti-Gaddafi fighters overran the port of Sirte early today, scoring a strategic victory in their battle for control of the defeated Libyan leader's birthplace, his loyalists' most important bastion. It's great that the rebels got to the root of their problems but there's still a wee bit to go. In other news, Saudi women now get to run (not to mention vote) in all municipal elections from 2015 onwards, however, they'll have a tough time campaigning because women still can't drive.
