    Note what they did at 6:03. In the entire interview they cut the parts in which the questions are being translated to Gaddafi, but in this part they deliberately let the translation part in, so that it looks like he is taking longer to answer this question, as if the interviewer “caught him” with this question. BTW the interviewer with that cynical smile has a very punchable face.

    Every question of that cynical journalist was loaded! What an opportunity, and he used it to score points.

    “What shall I can you? Leader?”

    “Whatever you want.”

    Nothing… nothing…

    Question about dictatorship:

    …, Leader?

    “Would you ban people from calling you a dictator?” – how tf does one answer a question like that without dooming themself either way?

    What a smug prick.

    Edit: cynical, not cyclical!

    Very polite and capable journalist and great display of intelligence from Gaddafi to gracefulyl avoid the charged questions.
