For the sins of his father: Gaddafi's son 'killed in kamikaze pilot attack on barracks' - Richard Hartley-parkinson

This is a pretty long and detailed article. One thing that I would take away from this - note the photos of the rebel soldiers. One photo shows a man pointing an assault rifle at another man who is approaching him. Beyond the fact that the man with the rifle is quite obviously holding the rifle incorrectly, it is also quite obvious that his compatriots are doing their best to alert him that the approaching man is harmless, or at least not to be shot. Its unsettling. Beyond this single encounter in a widespread conflict, it is becoming clear that the opposition, our allies at this point, are a band of adventurers with little or no idea what they are doing. Forget whether they can aim a rifle randomly at a guy while their friends frantically wave their arms not to shoot him, these guys are dangerous. While they have a touching naivete about them, their recklessness and inexperience will soon become a liability. Assuming they are able to storm Qaddafi's strongholds, the unfortunate truth is that there will be slaughter by our putative allies. This won't be the first time that our allies go from majestic freedom fighters to ugly butchers in short order, and it won't be the last for that matter. But it does matter that our long-term success in this matter is in the hands of these people. And before too long their amateurishness at combat will reveal an amateurishness at governing and then an amateurishness at not shooting political enemies. I hesitate to call this stupid, but it will end up messy.
