I wonder if David Cameron has a problem with looting now? Looks like a really professional bunch, I can imagine Libya's in good hands.
@midelectric: Tough call. Though looting is definitely wrong, its relative immorality is on a spectrum (at least for me).
I saw the press interview a rebel fighter who has a New Jersey accent, a backwards baseball cap, and designer sunglasses. He could have been an extra on the reality show Jersey Shore!
Very interesting kashgar, I wonder how much of the rebels are made up of special forces; they've been pretty frank in admitting that there are many countries in which they currently have feet on the ground.
Khadafi may have been weird and an easy target for ridicule for westerners but he did more for his people's standard of living than any of the steadfast oil shiek allies the US considers "friends".
@midelectric: I was not clear. The dude was clearly not professional military. I suspect that he moved to America from Libya at a young age and grew up in New Jersey. Then, he decided to go back to fight for his country. He was just a funny character. :)
Yeah, I didn't see any of the abject poverty in Libya like the other countries. It helps that the population is relatively small (and lots of petro-dollars).
