Tortured Freedom: Libya`s New Rulers Resort to Old Tactics

The news comes amidst rising frustration with Libya’s interim government.

Will a pro-Gadhafi `Green Revolution` topple the NTC?

The signs from Libya are that this country remains volatile...

(TRIPOLI) - This observer was stunned late last week when during a meeting in a Maghreb country with three high ranking former Libyan officials, among hundreds currently in hiding, and some organizing, in countries bordering Libya.

One of them, in all earnest, asked me, “Do you believe there will be a counter revolution soon in the “Jamarariya (state of the masses)?”

The Next War on Washington`s Agenda

Washington is getting all of us in over our heads.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Only the blind do not see that the US government is preparing to attack Iran. According to Professor Michel Chossudovsky, “Active war preparations directed against Iran (with the involvement of Israel and NATO) were initiated in May 2003.”

Washington has deployed missiles directed at Iran in its oil emirate puppet states, Oman and the UAE, and little doubt in the other US puppet states in the Middle East.

Death Drones from Hell, Coming to a Nightmare Near You

America's violence equates to militant depravity and an obscene refusal to see the real results of their warring ways.

Even women’s rights are being supported by the MB….sort of.

(TRIPOLI) - It appears, from interviews and discussions with a wide range of Libyans, that the Muslim Brotherhood currently has very little popular support among this pious conservative, Sunni Muslim society.

These days in Libya it is a good idea to memorize the name of the largest of the local militia and the name of its leader so when approached by the heavily armed unfriendly types...

(TRIPOLI) - The weather in Tripoli this New Year’s weekend is unseasonably bone chilling with heavy rains flooding the streets reminding this observer more of dreary London this time of year than the southern Maghreb coast of the Mediterranean.

My modest family run neighborhood hotel off Omar Muktar Street is clean and cheap, but my room has no heat except what eventually builds up under a stack of velour Turkish blankets.

(SORMAN, Libya) - It was a warm early Monday morning along the Libyan coast on June 20, 2011. At approximately 0200 GMT the next day in NATO Headquarters in Brussels and 30 minutes later in its media center in Naples, staffers finished tabulating NATO’s 92nd day of aerial attacks on Libya and began to post the data on its website.

Twenty four hours earlier an Atlantic Alliance command unit, located approximately 30 miles off the Libyan coast, in a direct line with Malta, and NATO’s targeting unit had signed off on 49 bombing missions for June 20th, the last day of spring and the last day of NATO’s original UN bombing mandate.

Libya: Can We Have the `Lady Be Good` Back Now Please?

Do the spoils of war include this? If so is there enough left to worry about?

(SALEM) - I don't think it's easy to take a single story from the pages of aviation history and call it the 'best' or 'most interesting' because the competition is fierce, but the doomed crew of the World War Two B24 Liberator 'Lady Be Good' ranks for the title if any do.

The crew became hopelessly lost and because they were flying at night, they ultimately came to believe they were over the ocean, just about to run out of fuel, and this is what led to their decision to bail out.
