What MSNM News & Even Alternative News Sees & Don't See

Bro Glen Ford makes the observation how its amazing what MSMN News [& even alternative news] outlets that have been on the ground for weeks in the rebel controlled East Libya can see & yet not see. I won't even waist time w MSNM News [including so-called liberal left MSNBC {Note: MS=MicroSoft=Bill Gates & NBC is owned by weapons & Fukushima Reactor maker GE] reports. IE:- No news media reported that covert elements of the US, UK, France & NATO have been on the ground in Libya FOR WEEKS [IE: probably as soon as or even before the rebellion began]- until OBomb-em admitted it last week.
DemocracyNow! last week focused much of a show on an inflammatory story about the alleged rape of ONE woman by men allegedly connected to Khadaffi's forces. Yet they [& to a some-what lesser extent The Real News] has ignored, down-played or dismissed as Khadaffi mercenaries- multiple accounts of dozens if not hundreds of beatings, lynchings, executions & even people being hacked to death - of Black Africans [including some Black Libyans] by rebels, as outlined in this story & other previous stories here at BAR. As far as that rape allegation is concerned - assuming that the accusation is valid [remember the allegation by Mr CIA Skull{duggery}& Bones Bush Sr that Saddam's men threw Kuwaiti babies out of their incubators & then even stomped them to death - WHICH WAS TOTALLY BOGUS] - how do we know that Khadaffi's men were the perpetrators? Case in point - DemocracyNow!'s Wed April 6 [was this rape allegation made on April 1st] show featuring Anthony Shadid of the NY-Times - who along w his crew was recently released from being detained a week by Khadaffi's people. Shadid makes the statement that many pro-Khadaffi forces [IE: those who first captured him] aren't regular army but are local militias [so much for Khadaffi not having any base of support among the regular people] who aren't that easy to distinguish from the rebels -especially by outsiders. This means that the rape perps could have been rebels [or some black ops guys] pretending to be Khadaffi's men. Also note-worthy is that Shadid & his crew [including a woman] felt safest when they knew they were in the hands of Khadaffi Gov't officials.Shadid also makes the statement that he didn't see many/any strong functional state institutions in Libya unlike under Saddam's Iraq- & implies this as a bad thing especially if Khadaffi falls [IE: Libya is/becomes a failed state]. BUT- There's another the way to interpret this - 1) Khadaffi gave each region &/or city a great deal of latitude to run things independent of his central Gov'ts control [IE: Democracy]- which runs counter to the claim of him being an over-bearing tyrant. 2) If Libyans under Khadaffi enjoyed the highest standard of living in all of Africa, has/had one of the highest literacy rates including women for Africa & the Arab world, & had access to some the best medical services in Africa & the Arab World- how was Khadaffi's Gov't non functional - IE: not serving the people??!! Shadid also said that some [though not all] of the rebels openly acknowledged themselves as Islamists / Islamic militants - which in the US & the West, in the wake of 9-11 & the War on Terror Hype, have been called Al-Qeada or Al-Qeada sympathizers - Thus- Maybe Khadaffi's wasn't so crazy after all when he said so.
