In March this year I posted a reference to Libyan cooperation in the Global War on Terror (GWOT). Libya gave us information on Islamic terrorists in Libya[1]. In the last two days documents have been found that imply that this cooperation was much deeper and friendlier, which could explain a few oddities about current events regarding Libya.
So far Gaddafi has not been found. Despite threats of engulfing Libya in flames etc he has disappeared, and called his escape from Tripoli a tactical withdrawal. Yes Gaddafi is a Colonel, a military man. But I expected a violent defence which has so far not materialised. Maybe we should be grateful for that.
But how can the NATO nations so openly betray an ally? Gaddafi cooperated with them but is now allegedly on the run, and I assume with a few secret billions placed around the world.
But if we can betray an ally in the GWOT does that mean that the GWOT is over, and that we no longer need all the police state laws that have been brought in since 9/11?
