But check this photo series from The Atlantic - this was the first photo evidence I saw that made me think that these guys were worth taking seriously.

DIY Weapons of the Libyan Rebels - Alan Taylor - In Focus - The Atlantic

Anyone can pose with an RPG and look tough (or in your photo, silly). But the Atlantic photo series speaks of people with organization - understanding of logistics, even. And yes, you can bet your last centime that there are people from the DGSE assisting behind the scenes.
Yes I believe what this used to be referred to as puppet rebels.

Outside influences funded,organised,and trained them to do their bidding.

What's troubling is that they appear to be rooting for the rebels to be crushed.

You can add this dictator to their long list of dictators they have supported in the past.

For someone that doesn't care what happens in Libya you sure seem to be doing a lot of posting on the matter.

That would be Al-Qaeda. I expect Libya to be a sanctuary.

I am still not really sure why that pessimistic outlook bolsters the contention that the Libyan conflict should be viewed on par with trite entertainment.
