Someone at Conde Nast Traveler has been eating paste again ...

The April issue of the esteemed travel magazine has named Libya among the "15 best places to see right now," according to a report on The Atlantic Wire. So, one of two things happened. Either it took a bit of time to put the issue of this print magazine to bed, or someone over there has a fantastic sense of humor. Given the state of the print industry, I'm guessing much "sense of humor" to go around.

Nonetheless, this month's readers will be treated to travel editorial that describes what is now a war-torn country in, I imagine, glowing terms. I will confess to two things: I haven't read the article (there doesn't seem to be much point), and I had planned to go to Libya later this year (which has changed, a bit, of course).

So, what's the reality here? A day late and a dollar short, I reckon.

Ouch.
