Saif Al Islam Gaddafi

I am just listening to Saif Al Islam Gaddafi's interview on Sky News and I'm confused. Seems he thinks everything's okay in Libya and the people have not been shot and killed and his father is in complete control.
It's a little bizarre!

Who is Saif to talk officially on behalf of Libya? And where is the government if everything is fine? I thought something a little more intelligent would come from him seeing as he has a Ph.D. from LSE. Made more sense when I read this in Wikipedia:

Saif received his Ph.D. from the London School of Economics in 2008. Through the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, Saif subsequently pledged a donation of £1.5 million to support the work of the LSE's Centre for the Study of Global Governance on civil society organizations in North Africa. Following the political uprising in Libya in February 2011, the LSE has issued a statement indicating that it will cut all financial ties with the country and will accept no further money from the Foundation, having already received and spent the first £300,000 installment of the donation.

Saif's Ph.D. thesis has been made available online and commentators claim that passages appear to have been plagiarised from other sources without attribution. Pressure is being put on the LSE to revoke his qualification.

And similar in The Economist [link]

Seems anything can be bought for money even the UK's finest schools. Saif's house in Hampstead is for sale at 10 million GBP. And I guess all the lavish parties and living will have to stop if daddy gets ousted. How on earth do these people get away with this for so long?
After the Sky News interview and reading an article in the LA Times [link] the words greedy, delusional, psychotic and pathological liar come to mind; stereotypical traits for Arab despots.
