Libya does not yet have to hand over Qaddafi son

Fox News  -  Yesterday 1:35 PM

Lawless Land - Libya

Twelve dead in weekend of Libyan skirmishing To see more go to http://www.youtube.com/user/journeymanpictures Follow us on Facebook (http://goo.gl/YRw42) or Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/journeymanvod) Gaddafi may be gone but Libya is now a country in chaos. Rebel groups are flush with weapons and taking the law into their own hands, persecuting those thought to have been allied to Gaddafi's regime. Libya's power vacuum has been filled by heavily armed rebels who still control much of the war-torn nation. Images of the sprawling refugee camps reveal the extent of the country's destroyed infrastructure. Mohammed Swehli, a commander of one of the major Misratan Rebel Brigades, denies the widespread allegations of torture and abuse. "They're not bandits, they're not militia groups", he says of the rebels. But video after video has emerged of the torture of perceived Gaddafi loyalists, most of them far too gruesome to broadcast. In some cases the brutal treatment appears to be based solely on the colour of the victim's skin. This report gained rare access to the prisons where thousands are being held indefinitely without charge. One former prisoner shows pictures of his injuries. "This is when they beat me with electric cables. They called me slave", he says. With upcoming elections and new fears over a split between the country's east and west, what does the future hold for post-revolution Libya?

Putting Libya's army back together

Libya's defence minister says he wants to create a new national army of 100,000 soldiers. The force will include members of the old army, as well as former fighters who helped overthrow Muammar Gaddafi. Al Jazeera's Omar al-Saleh reports from the Libyan town of Az-Zawiya.

Libya's Fraught Future

Daily Beast  -  9:39 AM

The principal security challenge facing Libya today is the thuwar, the revolutionary fighters that defended their communities and then joined together to defeat Qaddafi's forces and liberate Tripoli. In the wake of their victory, the thuwar were regarded as heroes by a grateful populous.

The Obama Doctrine: Syria vs. Libya Intervention

As the pressure grows on President Obama to take action in Syria, it’s worth going back to re-read the March 2011 speech he gave explaining his intervention in Libya. In it, Obama made clear that that he was not raising the curtain on a new era of humanitarian intervention—that the criteria for U.S. action should depend on an intersection of our interests and our values. (Or, as he put it: “we must always measure our interests against the need for action.”)
