A mask of kindness?

I thought that Libya was a rather contradicting country. They showed no affection or justice for people at some moments and at other moments they seemed to actually care. Libya first gathered up all the reporters they could and enrolled them on a program. The reporters thought they were going to get great stories and maybe see the chemical weapon plant they were convinced was there. The reporters never got any good stories however, and were robbed of hundreds of dollars by the hotel. They paid for a one-week stay with U.S. dollars and were kicked out after a few nights. Their money was refunded in Libyan dinars (a worthless currency). When the reporters were traveling around on the program they saw many mobs chanting, “Down down U.S.A!”. Finally, when Tony is standing in line at the airport his wallet gets stolen. Up until this point Tony along with the other reporters had been treated poorly, but when Tony tackles the guy who stole his wallet things change. The guards take Tony to a room where he tells them what happens. The guards beat up the man who stole Tony’s wallet. They then rush Tony past all security, lines, and checks-ins, and put him on his plane. They also tell him, “There was a mistake, but it has been corrected” and “Remember, this does not happen in Libya”. Why would the guards go through all this trouble to help Tony out when they already shown that they don’t care about reporters or Americans? ed
