Friendship test {March 10, 2011 , 12:07 AM} I don't exactly intend to turn this page into a Libya-nexus, so I'll cease and desist on such posts for at least a day or two. But it's just been reported that Q is torturing journalists. His recapture of Ras Lanuf turned out to be a lie, but the battle for the refinery-town is currently raging. Libya's defecting-ambassador says the people are "waiting" for a NFZ. If Egypt's interim government is looking to reassert the nation's role as a leader of the Arab world, I couldn't think of a better way to do so than taking a stand against Qaddafi. They've begun to aid the rebels. The U.S. global security consultancy Stratfor says these troops "have played a key role in quietly providing weaponry and training to Libyan opposition forces while trying to organize a political command in the east."It's been noted elswhere that the bloodshed in Libya has guaranteed a refugee problem for its two reborn nieghbors. [Egypt] is deeply concerned about a flood of refugees pouring across the desert border from Libya as well as a resurgence of Islamist militancy in eastern Libya that could reignite its own Muslim extremists.
