For years, the international media has described Libyan dictator Moamer Kadhafi's son, Saif, as a "reformer" who is "committed to political freedoms and free-market reforms."

The same story line they use about Cuba's Raul Castro.

Well, here's what Saif "the reformer" had to say today:

Kadhafi's son warns of 'rivers of blood' in Libya

AFP - The son of Libya's strongman Moamer Kadhafi warned Monday the country would be destroyed by civil war if protests end his father's rule, in a speech broadcast as bursts of gunfire broke out in Tripoli.

Saif al-Islam Kadhafi offered reforms to end the violent uprising gripping the country, but he warned the protests were a foreign plot and would be crushed in a "bloodbath" if the government's offer was rejected.
