It’s a safe bet that this photo of Muammar Qaddafi was not taken by his official photographer.
Perhaps the Economist used this photo in their article of Military Coup Leaders to get in a dig at Colonel Qaddafi during the week that Scotland and the UK were taking heat for releasing Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, the only person convicted in the Lockerbie bombing of 1988, as a humanitarian gesture.
If so, it worked on me.
