...leader, whether terrorist or not, can come to wipe off the blood of his crimes," fumed Rama Yade, the secretary of state for foreign affairs and human rights in Sarkozy's own government, to the daily Le Parisien. Yade noted the Libyan regime's maintenance of police state to repress suspected political opposition left her decidedly "not happy about this visit" - one that begins, she pointed out "on International Human Rights Day".
