I'm sick of reading this s***, folks, and what is worse no other blogs are even bothering to waste time with this propaganda.
Yet it is being served to us by New England's largest newspaper as news.
"In Libya, ex-militants fight extremism; Former radicals work to discredit Al Qaeda fighters" by Sudarsan Raghavan, Washington Post | June 20, 2010
Remember, readers, the Washington Post is the CIA 's newspaper so this is straight from the horse's mou..., well, try the other end.
TRIPOLI, Libya — His life as a militant began with a call to holy war. It ended inside a prison in his native Libya. In between, Sami al Saadi orchestrated attacks against Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy, moved in Osama bin Laden’s inner circle, and befriended Mullah Omar, the Taliban leader.
Released from prison in March after he renounced violence, Saadi and other top leaders of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group are now waging an ideological battle to deradicalize extremists and discredit Al Qaeda....
So which "Al-CIA-Duh" would that be, huh, MSM?
The made-up "Al-CIA-Duh?"

New York Times Admits War on Terror is U.S. Creation
Oh, AmeriKa's MSM KNOWS ALL ABOUT and yet STILL PUSHES the CHARADE, huh?Libya, itself a former sponsor of terrorism, has joined a small but growing number of Arab and African nations that are using religion-based rehabilitation programs to isolate Al Qaeda and inoculate Muslims against bin Laden’s narrative.
Then DON'T READ an AmeriKan newspaper!!!!
They BROADCAST the thing ALL the TIME! And I WOULD AGREE!
Reading an AmeriKan paper IS a DISEASE!!!!!
Scores of militants have been released under the program, and US officials say they are watching to see whether such models can serve as a blueprint for combating extremism at a time when Al Qaeda remains a long-term strategic threat.

Sick of the OBFUSCATING and DISTORTED BS yet, readers?
“It is a new frontier in the fight against terrorism,’’ said Rohan Gunaratna, head of the International Center for Political Violence and Terrorism Research in Singapore.
Yet Libya’s experience also shows the limitations of efforts to reform Islamists who harbor deep-rooted grievances against US policies and have spent their adult lives fighting for what they believed was just under the guidelines of Islam.
At one point, Saadi seemed to embrace a new beginning. “Perhaps we can convince Al Qaeda not to attack the West,’’ he said.
But he later sounded less sure: “I don’t believe bin Laden is calling for the killing of any single civilian.’’
Especially since he is IN a GRAVE INSIDE a HILL!!!
Saadi dropped out of college in 1988 to wage jihad, heeding an influential Sunni theologian’s call to Muslims to liberate Afghanistan from the Soviets.
Well, what do you know, ANOTHER CIA AGENT that QUIT COLLEGE and became a "terrorist!"
Was he trained in Nevada?
Saadi made his way to Afghanistan, where he met bin Laden at a training camp and was impressed by his “devoutness.’’
Did the CIA CASE OFFICER INTRODUCE them?
After the Soviets pulled out of Afghanistan, Saadi helped found the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group. The group’s goal: to overthrow Khadafy and turn Libya into an Islamic state. By the late 1990s, the militia had staged dozens of attacks in Libya, including three assassination attempts on Khadafy.
Translation: the CIA TURNED the team on Libya for a COUP ATTEMPT!
“There was no way but to face the regime with force,’’ Saadi recalled thinking, a faint smile emerging on his face, haggard and gray from years in prison.
The group thrived under Taliban rule and forged close ties to the radical regime’s leaders. But it was divided on Al Qaeda. In several meetings before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, bin Laden urged the Libyan fighters to join him in confronting the West, especially the United States, Saadi and two other senior leaders said in their first extensive interviews with a journalist since their release from prison in March.
Yeah, I thought something smelled familiar!
Some of the fighters were against the idea, warning that the United States might retaliate against the Taliban.
“We did not have any ambitions to export our conflict outside of Libya,’’ recalled Khalid al-Sherif, the group’s military commander.
But others embraced bin Laden’s global jihad.
Today, one of the group’s leaders, Abu Yahya al-Libi, is the spiritual leader of Al Qaeda’s North African branch, Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, which has launched suicide bombings and killed Western hostages.
I guess that would be ""Al-GIA-duh!"
After the Sept. 11 attacks, many of the Libyan leaders fled Afghanistan. Pakistani and CIA operatives arrested Sherif in Peshawar, Pakistan, in 2003. Saadi was arrested in China in 2004. The group’s emir, Abdullah al-Sadeq, was captured in Bangkok in 2004. All three men were handed over to US soldiers and eventually returned to Libya, they and Libyan officials say.
The U.S. let TERRORISTS GO rather than put them into a BLACK SITE TORTURE CHAMBER?
Readers, they were SENT TO LIBYA by the CIA!!!
All of a sudden we are turning "Al-CIA-Duh" over to LIBYA for SAFE-KEEPING?
Upon their arrival in Tripoli, the men were each thrown into a small cell.
In late 2008, the offer from Khadafy’s son Saif al-Islam arrived: Give up violence and get your freedom. Must not be the
The government was concerned that Libyans were joining Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb in neighboring Algeria.
Uh-huh.
The offer was rare in the Arab world, where regimes have long used brutality to suppress conflicts, and Libyan internal security officials opposed it. But Khadafy convinced his father that the group no longer posed a threat.
THEY KNOW, readers!
“I want Libya to be a safe place,’’ said the younger Khadafy, who has no official role in the government but has emerged as an influential voice in fostering national reconciliation.
A moderate Islamist, Ali al-Salabi, was enlisted as a mediator to conduct religious dialogues with the jailed militants. Salabi met solely with the group’s top leaders, who were expected to guide the fighters under them.--more--"
Wow, I'M FULL UP with MSM FILLER, folks!

"Elite British forces reportedly training Libyan troops" by Raphael G. Satter, Associated Press | September 13, 2009
LONDON - Some of Britain’s most elite soldiers have been training Libyan forces in counterterrorism and surveillance for the past six months, a newspaper said yesterday.
The Daily Telegraph said a contingent of four to 14 men from the Special Air Service, or SAS, were working with Colonel Moammar Khadafy’s soldiers in Libya, a country once notorious for its support of terrorism.... Britain’s secretive SAS is among the world’s most respected commando units. It was created during World War II for attacks behind Axis lines....

FRU
Would YOU want THEM in your country?
Britain’s thirst for Libya’s oil and gas resources was again thrust into the spotlight earlier this month when it was reported that Brown had refused to lobby Khadafy for compensation for the Britons killed and injured by Libyan-supplied plastic explosives used by the Irish Republican Army in the 1980s and ’90s.
Well, THAT'S a REAL CIRCLE JERK seeing as it was the BRITISH SETTING UP THOSE IRISH BLOKES!
In a letter written last year to a survivor of one of the IRA bombings, then-junior Foreign Office Minister Bill Rammell explained that Libya was now “a vital partner . . . in guaranteeing a secure energy future for the UK.’’
The paper cited an unidentified SAS source as saying that the training was seen as part of the deal to release Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, whose return to Libya last month outraged Americans and raised questions over the nature of Britain’s relationship with Khadafy’s authoritarian regime.

Britain’s military refused to comment on the Telegraph’s report. The Foreign Office said Britain had “ongoing cooperation with Libya in the field of defense,’’ but refused to comment on the issue of special forces. It denied in a statement that the defense cooperation had anything to do with Megrahi’s release. Prime Minister Gordon Brown and other officials have emphasized Libya’s remarkable transformation from rogue state to Western ally and the need to keep Khadafy on board since he renounced terrorism and dismantled his country’s clandestine nuclear program in 2003.
Usually the trick turns the other way. So how do they explain yesterday?
But media reports have suggested that the prisoner-exchange agreement that paved the way for Megrahi’s release was motivated in part by a desire to secure access to Libya’s vast energy reserves.
Oh, that's how -- and what this all about, bottom line.
Justice Secretary Jack Straw of Britain seemed to endorse that contention when he told the Telegraph last week that trade played “a very big part’’ in the negotiations over the prisoner deal....

Yup, "Al-CIA-Duh" is IN COUNTRY all right!!!!
