AM: Libya Revolution Snags CdA Man

On March 2, Richard Peters called his wife, Katie, in Coeur d’Alene from the Libyan capital of Tripoli. Peters, a 62-year-old former Navy SEAL, had been in Libya for two months trying to secure work as a contractor. Escalating protests against Moammar Gadhafi were spreading through the country, and the brutal dictator was fighting back. Tripoli was awash in anti-American passions. Peters told Katie he was getting out, possibly to find work with oil companies or to help train rebels in Benghazi. He hung up. It was the last time she would hear from him for months.
