As both rebels and Muammar Gaddafi deny that a deal for his exit was proffered, a key insider reveals to The Daily Beast's Fadel Lamen the details of the Libyan dictator's offer—and the opposition's next move. According to the insider, Gaddafi sent a letter, in the care of a former cabinet minster, offering to call a meeting of the General People's Congress where he would submit his resignation. A formal process would give then appearance of a democratic turnover. In exchange, Gaddafi would require that the congress declare immunity for him and his family. But the interim Transitional Council, overseen by Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the closest thing the Libyan people have as an alternative to Gaddafi, rejected the idea as a "farce."
