Copy and pasted from Al Jazeera because this is too incredible to paraphrase.
9:23am Seif al-Islam and Saadi Gaddafi, two of the leader's sons, are floating a plan to end the conflict in Libya by removing their father from power, the New York Times has reported, citing "a diplomat" and a Libyan official.
The plan puts Seif and Saadi at odds with brothers Khamis and Mutassim, who are considered more hardliners. Khamis commands a brigade of troops specially intended to suppress internal unrest, and Mutassim is a national security advisor to his father.
One person close to Seif and Saadi told the Times: "They have hit so many brick walls with the old guard, and if they have the go-ahead, they will bring the country up quickly."
While it's true, as the Times' sources say, that the fighting has reached a stalemate, many Libyan rebels will be unwilling to accept Seif or Saadi staying in positions of power.
