What is a "rest house?" Are they dotted 100 yards apart for Gaddafi's tired son?

I just hope those rebels know how to put some of those spirits to good use. I know alcohol was banned under Gadhafi but this is just like that scene out of Band of Brothers when they find (I want to say) Goebbels personal wine cellar. There was a photo I noticed last week of a bunch of rebels looking at bottles of Cristal not knowing what it really was or how much it was worth, let alone that it was Gadhafi's Cristal. In some way, I hope they preserve these places to remind anyone what Gadhafi was but if they want to burn them down I wouldn't blame them either.

The most ominous and gaudy building I've ever been in the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. I wouldn't doubt there are going to be places far more spectacular than what we see in the photos. The only rebels I'm envious of are the first one's who came upon Gadhafi's collection of cars, looked at each other, said "are you thinking what I'm thinking", then were seen driving around yelling WOOT!

These boys just toppled their dictator. Regardless of religious belief or law, I say "get crunk".

Criminal thieves they are to the core,they should all be tried in court...they spent the Libyan oil money as their pocket money while Libynas suffered fom hunger and poverty!No wonder the revolution has succeed..I wish the Libyan people all the good life soon...under democracy and freedom.

This is the time to ivite Gadaffi to UN to present one of his rants. What a hypocrite.

I keep looking for a painting on the wall of Elvis on black velvet.

Looks like the dear leader was busy living it up, downing champers like no man's business, while the rest of the great unwashed masses have to make do with water.

Are we supposed to be impressed by THIS "display of wealth"??? This isn't even as grand as a lot of celebrity homes in Los Angeles. Certainly nowhere near as grand as the wealthy elite in Europe. I'd say he was living pretty modestly considering his important position and how long he's had to accumulate wealth. I was expecting to see something like one of the former Russian Czar's palaces with gold and rubies in the walls, hand carved elaborate furniture and original paintings from masters hundreds of years old. This place is a joke compared to that kind of REAL wealth.
