Libya says it's holding talks with U.S.

Libyan and American officials engaged in direct, face-to-face talks in Tunisia on Saturday, a spokesman for Moammar Gadhafi's embattled regime said Monday.

"This is a first step. We welcome any further steps," Musa Ibrahim said in a brief interview with CNN. "We don't want to be stuck in the past."

There was no immediate comment on the report from Washington.

      How do we know whether or not if this isn't just play acting by the C.I.A. or some other Western intelligence agency to further inflame public opinion against the Muslims? Nowadays, one never knows!!!

      That's funny, that's exactly how I feel about the spokespeople for the lying politicians in Washington. You can't believe a word they say, anymore!!! Washington D.C. is rife with corruption and anybody with half a brain would know it!!!

    This would be wonderful news if true. Like somebody already said, it would be better to split Libya in half, such as, let each side rule it's half of Libya than to continue this useless carnage in order to put in a right-wing, pro-Western stooge in Qadaffy's place. I just wish that the good for nothing leaders of the NATO countries would just mind their own business, the moral pygmies!!!

    Moammar Gadhafi (goofy gidafy to you):
    Why do you waste our time like this?
    Can't take you anywhere, just like a spoiled little brat.
    Talks? About what? I'm not part of the ruling class.
    I'm sure Barrack, in all his glory, will cut you in for piece of the action.

      Totally agreed, texn. I've never seen such ignorance as that of these idiots who keep posting here with their idiotic Qadaffy bashing nonsense. We Americans have become so arrgant and self righteous that we believe now that we have a right to do whatever we feel like aroud the world, right or wrong and that nauseates me to no end!!!
