Paul Harris reports: "The scope of active US and British involvement with the Libyan rebels came under close scrutiny last night as it emerged that western intelligence agents were on the ground in the country and that Barack Obama had signed a secret order authorising covert help."

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

I just hope they know WHO they are arming and advising as I think back to the days when they handed rocket launchers to the Taliban and gold spurs and Lord knows what to Saddam.
British love Wars, read there newspapers, and their comments, they thrive on invading.For exactly the same reason we left them, they want more and more. Not exactly a role model for Civilized Human Beings?
With all this Intelligencem which I am using sarcastically, in Military 'Covert Operations", why is Bin Laden alive and well in Bush compound? If the Taliban actually Bombed the USA in 9/11 why are they still alive and well?
Bush/Cheney/Military Bombed the USA, proof is, there has not been any terrorist here since. We have had Hurricanes, Avalanches, Oil Spill, Super Bowls, Electric Shut downs on East coast and West...where are these Mythical Beasts? A figment of the CIA. We Killed our own, it was not supposed to be that way, it was supposed to be a crash somewhere but inexperienced fliers either erroneously, for the Military or for themselves. We were the Victims of yet another Plot to overthrow Democracy from within.
It is like someone trying to shoot Bush or Reagan, more nonsense to keep the sheep in USA following the Corrupt.
Religions crippling people to follow the Evil Leaders. Creator is ashamed of us all.
For the cost of a single cruise missile, we could have, and SHOULD have, erected a wind turbine.
Later; Viet Nam was never a declared war. Korea was an undeclared "police action". Congress never voted on either one, although they did vote to approve funding, and they could vote to cut funding for Obama as well.

It sure appears as if you've sold your soul to the devil. Or, perhaps you were a bought out pol. for some time, and we the dumb sheeple got karlroved (i.e. spun, manipulated, distracted) during youR campaign. We were sooooo eager for CHANGE and sooooo full of HOPE.
But, no more - you've slammed the door -
NO MORE WAR!!!!!
Something is very wrong. We stopped hearing of hunger as the food shortages get rapidly worse.

Gadhafi totally cut off the Internet in Libya. How could he do more than the Egyptian government had done to try to stop the protests.

Where are the calls to bring Internet service from abroad?
NATO commander Canadian Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard is in charge now. Unless other nations start bringing in arms and training first, it isn’t likely that the US will. France not the US first attacked
right after the UN resolution to create a “no fly zone”.
I like Italy’s plan to grant amnesty to Gaddafi in exchange for leaving soon. I would even like to see the intern government, consist of more than their share of his tribe. People are vaguely talking of al Qaeda. But basically two situations would benefit bin Laden. If any fancy weapons seized by the rebels ended up on the black market. However the rebels are more anxious to use weapons then sell them.
The second possibly is if things for the rebels seem almost hopeless like the years of hopelessness among Chinese protesters after the Tiananmen Square massacre. When situations look totally hopeless “I ain’t going to take it anymore terrorism has a lot of appeal”. If a successful repression far more brutal than the 1989Chinese massacre happened again it would put a dark cloud over protests even in Wisconsin, again setting back a generation of social justice. So actually the UN so-far accomplished something great that we will never know, unless it gets undone, more detail by clicking on my name and strolling down, or get lively responses at,

and US media? Internet? CENSORED. One has to go to China to get more balanced news ...

US media--and I was part of it long ago--share zero analysis, instead serving as mere puppets for the Washing Distortion Machines.
The real tragedy is the result: Zero trust.
