Qadhafi in WikiLeaks

Hat tip to my brother on this one. My favorite WikiLeaked cable about Libya’s leader was probably this one:

“When applying for Qadhafi’s visa, XXXXXXX asked whether it was necessary for the Leader to submit a portrait of himself that fit consular application regulations, noting that his photo was displayed throughout the city and that anyone of hundreds of billboards could be photographed and shrunken to fit the application’s criteria. When the rule was enforced, XXXXXXXXX reluctantly conceded to take a portrait of the Leader specifically for the visa application.”
