Secret files obtained from Tripoli headquarters of Libya's intelligence agency, shattered by NATO air-strikes, included startling evidence indicating that top U.S. officials offered aid and advice to Moammar Gaddafi since the beginning of the Libyan public's protest.
Al Jazeera news producer, Jamal Elshayyal, obtained the exclusive evidence recently, which indicated that the Gaddafi regime maintained direct communications with top U.S. officials.
According to the Al Jazeera report, David Welch, former assistant secretary of state under George W. Bush, met with Gaddafi's officials at the Four Seasons Hotel in Cairo, a few blocks from the U.S. embassy on Aug. 2, 2011 to advise Gaddafi's team on how to win the propaganda war and to suggest several "confidence-building measures."

I would love to know on whose behalf was David Welch meeting and advising Gaddafi?
