The newly installed leader of the Libyan rebel council is an apparent CIA puppet
///
great info. (i certainly don’t doubt it, but i’d be interested in reading more about this guy living here?)
after all, the CIA once supported bin Laden.
and i think they are many vultures cooperating here for different purposes. some for oil as you say. (i’d also like to know what happens to the 3.7 billion Gadafi has in Goldman-Sach if he dies.)
but i think Candor7 is also correct. Even French NGO’s are admitting the “rebels” are Islamists. (and we know how dense they are!) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2738916/posts
The person is Khalifa Hifter. He lived in Vienna, Virginia which is five miles from Langley. Vienna is a suburb that is the home to a very high concentration of US govt employees and contractors. A close relation of mine who was a senior military officer had his home there.
Here’s the other side’s take on it.
Libya: A CIA commander for the rebels
....To those who can read between the lines, this profile is a thinly disguised indication of Hifter’s role as a CIA operative. How else does a high-ranking former Libyan military commander enter the United States in the early 1990s, only a few years after the Lockerbie bombing, and then settle near the US capital, except with the permission and active assistance of US intelligence agencies? Hifter actually lived in Vienna, Virginia, about five miles from CIA headquarters in Langley, for two decades.
The agency was very familiar with Hifter’s military and political work. A Washington Post report of March 26, 1996 describes an armed rebellion against Gaddafi in Libya and uses a variant spelling of his name. The article cites witnesses to the rebellion who report that “its leader is Col. Khalifa Haftar, of a contra-style group based in the United States called the Libyan National Army.”
