Nerve.com's Politics Issue, online through Nov. 2, features an article by Lynn Harris on Mommar Qaddafi's sexy female bodyguards, which is also the subject of Rania Ajami's documentary Qaddafi's Female Bodyguards: Shadows of a Leader

"Everywhere [Qaddafi] goes he's surrounded by a badass bunch of Lara Croft clones," write Harris, "usually in matching colored camouflage (of dubious use in the desert). They've been described as 'wearing their Kalashnikovs like Gucci fashion accessories.' (Yes, news articles always describe [what] they're wearing. Not like you ever hear the AP mention the 'navy wool, three-button, notched-lapel suits' of the Secret Service.) On a good day, the bodyguards make Qaddafi look like Hef. On a bad day, a Bond villain. On every day, a crackpot."
