Might Qaddafi be losing his nerve? Some reports are surfacing that he's willing to slip away with some money and a get-out-of-jail free card. He's supposed to have made this offer to the "interim council" governing the rebel-controlled eastern provinces:

A source close to the council told Reuters he had heard that "one formula being proposed by the other side would see Gaddafi hand power to the head of parliament and leave the country with a certain guaranteed sum of money."

Al Bayan quoted a source close to Gaddafi's inner circle as saying the Libyan leader had begun looking for a safe haven outside Libya.

 There is no creature loves him.
