The revolt in Libya appears to have started among the long-time opposition to Gaddafi in the city of Benghazi. Initial reports indicated that the movement in Libya was not primarily composed of youth, as in Egypt and elsewhere, but of lawyers, judges, doctors and police officers. Very early on, it appeared that the defection of police and military units provided the anti-Gaddafi movement with arms. The fact that they have now reportedly “seized” entire cities in both the east and west of the country reflects a high degree of military sophistication.
I heard that the hikers who are being tried as spies in Iran are really behind it, issuing coded directions from their jail cells. There are also rumors that Trotsky's great-grandson Fishke Abramowitz is digging a tunnel from Egypt to Libya so that saboteurs funded by Peter Ackerman and trained by Blackwater can blow up pipelines.
