Libyan Military Officers Defect : The Two-Way : NPR: "Eastern Libya appears to be controlled by forces and protesters who oppose embattled Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. NPR's Lourdes Garcia Navarro entered the region and tells Morning Edition the Libyans she's spoken to fear that Gadhafi is 'unhinged', 'insane' and he'll continue his violent, unpredictable behavior.

Libyan Major Colonel Sulieman Mahmoud talked with Lourdes and other journalists yesterday and says he defected from Gadhafi's command when he learned troops were killing Libyan protesters. Lourdes says the country's justice minister has quit; the New York Times says the interior minister has resigned.
