LU Professor weighs in on Middle Eastern situation

The situation in the middle east continues to spiral out of control. Lakehead University Political Science expert Laure Paquette says its hard to get an accurate read on the situation in Libya.  The pro democracy forces are becoming organized but not much is known about their situation, while pro Gadhafi forces are claiming to be making gains.  The problem is, many of the reports are coming from Gadhafi forces.  Paquette says the situation in Bahrain is even more frightening were government forces are apparently killing protesters in an attempt to get them to stop.
