Today CNN broadcast the first on-camera interview with Eman al-Obeidy, the Libyan lawyer who stormed a Tripoli hotel and struggled to tell journalists of how she was raped by pro-Gaddafi forces two weeks ago. She tells CNN that she was "brutally tortured to the point of them entering weapons inside of me" and alcohol was poured in her eyes. Apparently she's relatively safe now, though she's been harassed by Gaddafi's thugs since.
