Libyan Rebels As Proxies?

News reports seem to be framing the Libyan rebellion in familiar terms. This concerns me. The uniformity of message never once brings up the question of foreign involvement in the political movements behind this uprising. We are not hearing in our media questions to officials or reporting on intelligence projects designed to facilitate regime change. Programs to set up friendly constituencies would be perpetuated and can act like sleeper cells. I wonder if the Libyan situation might actually have some dirty black ops psycho-social with ties to friends of John Bolton or other rabid PNAC clique.

It disturbs me to listen to news readers breathlessly whine for us to get in and enforce God knows what sort of outcome these rebels seek. Who told those demonstrators to get out on the streets and demand the president step down? Who backed that promise of security? I seriously doubt anybody would be doing this if they have no promise of help.

I wish there were some better clarity on how programs to destabilize unfriendly regimes are overseen and managed. Too much to hope for, it seem, as usual.
