Telegraph: Leading Libyan Islamist met Free Syrian Army opposition group
Abdulhakim Belhadj, head of the Tripoli Military Council and the former leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, "met with Free Syrian Army leaders in Istanbul and on the border with Turkey," said a military official working with Mr Belhadj. "Mustafa Abdul Jalil (the interim Libyan president) sent him there."
The "covert operation" was immediately laid bare when a rival Libyan rebel brigade detained Belhaj at Tripoli airport, accused him of travelling on a fake passport, and declared they would jail the senior military leader.
Only a letter from the country's interim president was enough to persuade them to let him leave the country.

In Police State news...
On December 31st, Obama signs the NDAA 2012, thereby declaring every U.S. citizen to be a potential enemy of the state, with the determination of such status to be entirely at the discretion of the executive branch. This signing opens what we greatly fear will be a chain of events culminating in civil war, the outcome of which we are less than optimistic will be favorable to the rule of law in the good ol' USA. As we joked in last month's headline summary, Obama should immediately have himself indefinitely detained, in so far as his war against Qadaffi has provided Al Qaeda with a new safe haven in Libya. But the reality is that any who shirk not of the opinion that Obama himself is an enemy of the state are at risk of being detained or even killed at his discretion. Since it is merely your word against his, calling one another traitors, without recourse to the forum of a court system to adjudicate such disputes, the one with the force of coercion, the predator drones, will then prevail. Rule of law is no more; now might makes right. This goes for everyone with a low opinion of the "Viceroy". True, the language of the NDAA limits such executive action to supporters of Al Qaeda and affiliated groups. But, all it will take to expand these provisions to domestic opposition is another staged terror attack like the Oklahoma City Bombing. Following such an event, we can expect to see, for instance, Mike Vanderbough and his "Merry Band of Three Percenters" to be added to an executive hit list...
