Rep. Michele Bachmann said something unintentionally great in the Republican presidential debate Tuesday night, saying, in essence, that Libya was not in the continent of Africa.

From Perry calling Romney's immigration stance the height of hypocrisy, to Paul taking on Cain in Occupy Wall Street, to Bachmann thinking Libya is outside of Africa, the Oct. 18 debate was a no-holds-barred slugfest.

Libya's revolutionary army has captured the city of Bani Walid, one of the last cities that was still under the control of the pro-Gadhafi resistance.

Up to 7,000 prisoners are held in dozens of makeshift detention centres in Libya more than two months after rebel forces toppled Muammar Gaddafi, amid serious allegations and some evidence of torture, the United Nations said on Friday.

Libya imported $1.6 billion worth of fuel during the six months of revolution, including from Qatar and Turkey, and has yet to repay $890 million, the interim oil and finance minister said on Thursday.
