→Benghazi: new section
::I've been reading through this and there's one thing bothering me: Although there's mention of NATO and the US's involvement in the war, there's no mention of the war itself. No mention of how it started, of the battle of Bengazi and other eastern cities? Of the rebel government being recognised, etc. Shouldn't things like this be added? At the moment, there's more about the US in here than about Libya. [[User:TracyS|TracyS]] 11:04, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

What rebels think
<blockquote>
Since Friday, rebel officials have been bluntly warning reporters that they could face legal action over what they write, and they have singled out certain journalists whose reports they called inaccurate and divisive, though they did not offer specifics.
“We don’t know if anybody here is a fifth column,” Mr. Bani, a rebel, said of the reporters at a news conference. “It is very difficult to determine who is with you and who is against you in a time of conflict, because you don’t necessarily have to hold a weapon. With a word or a rumor they can cause a lot of deaths.” [http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/01/world/africa/01libya.html?pagewanted=2&hpw]
