The NYT put out a rather unflattering story today about our NATO-sponsored rebels in Libya. The Times was a major cheerleader for our Libyan adventure. Month after month after month of "Gadaffi bad, rebels good!"
Seems that even the New York Times is having second thoughts. They report that Doctors Without Borders has suspended operations in Misurata because the same prisoners keep showing up with new injuries. Only took the geniuses at MSF four months to figure out, hey, we're just patching these folks up so the rebels can torture them some more!
The torture victims seem to be comprised of two suspect groups; Gadaffi loyalists and black people. Black people who are suspected of being Gadaffi loyalists don't survive long enough to be tortured.
Apparently the police can't do anything because "everyone has a gun now."
And the Times reassures us that this is happening because of four decades of Gadaffi rule. Nothing is the responsibility of the NATO countries without whom the rebels would have been a minor foot-note in Libyan history by last April.
What a disaster. From the highest standard of living in Africa to complete anarchy in under a year.
Good work, NATO!
