Libya's opposition leadership comes into focus
Libya has descended to a situation tantamount to civil war, with forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in the west pitted against rebels from the east. However, one of the biggest problems faced by Western governments has been in identifying exactly who the rebels are.
Many of the rebels, including former Libyan Justice Minister Mustafa Abdel-Jalil and former Interior Minister Gen. Abdel Fatta Younis, defected early on from the Gadhafi regime and represent what came to be the Transitional National Council (TNC), which promptly lobbied Western government for support after its formation. In light of logistical and maintenance capabilities militarily, further defections would certainly help the rebels achieve victory, though there has been no sign of such defections.

Daniel Ellsberg Busted at Manning Protest
More than 100 anti-war protesters, including the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers, were arrested outside the White House in demonstrations marking the eighth anniversary of the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
The protesters, some shouting anti-war slogans and singing ``We Shall Not Be Moved,'' were arrested Saturday after ignoring orders to move away from the gates of the White House. The demonstrators cheered loudly as Daniel Ellsberg, the former military analyst who in 1971 leaked the Pentagon's secret history of the Vietnam War that waslater published in major newspapers, was arrested and led away by police.

West hits Libyan defences as Gaddafi vows to fight
Western air strikes pounded Muammar Gaddafi's defences and allied warplanes patrolled Libyan skies on Sunday, lifting the siege of Benghazi and allowing rebels to surge forward and retake lost ground.
The aerial assault stopped in its tracks the advance by Gaddafi's troops into Benghazi and left the burnt and shattered remains of his tanks and troop carriers littering the main road outside the rebel stronghold. The charred bodies of at least 14 government soldiers lay scattered in the desert.
