Some news of Khalifa Hifter, whose name can be romanised in almost as many ways as Gadhafi's -
"Haftr, a general in Gadhafi's army during the 1980s, claims to be in charge. Haftr told ABC News that he doesn't officially report to Omar Hariri, the rebels' defense minister; or to Gen. Abdel Fattah Younes, who has the title of chief of staff. The general claims that one of his sons is in regular contact with James Clapper, U.S. director of National Intelligence, a claim that a spokesperson for Clapper said was inaccurate."

"Report author: Findings against Israel would be different today

....In his column, Goldstone cites a subsequent report by a U.N. committee of independent experts, which found Israel investigated more than 400 allegations of misconduct while Hamas has "not conducted any investigations into the launching of rocket and mortar attacks against Israel."

"That the crimes allegedly committed by Hamas were intentional goes without saying -- its rockets were purposefully and indiscriminately aimed at civilian targets," Goldstone wrote Friday.

Israeli investigations found cases involving individual soldiers, but the intentional targeting of civilians by Israel was not a "matter of policy," Goldstone now writes.

Goldstone said Israel should have conducted proceedings in a public forum and been more cooperative during his panel's investigation.

"Israel's lack of cooperation with our investigation meant that we were not able to corroborate how many Gazans killed were civilians and how many were combatants," Goldstone wrote in the Washington Post article, adding Israeli has concluded few of its investigations.

Hamas, he said, continues to fire rockets and mortar rounds at civilian targets in southern Israel and should be condemned by the Human Rights Council...."

Of course, its not like anyone with a brain didnt already know this. Hamas paleo thugs hide in ambulances, mosques and schools. Its their only way of surviving a war with an army that possesses modern weaponry. And Israel, like the US, does not intentionally attack civilians, because its bad for business, and ends up doing more harm than good. Now, there are always accidents and rogue elements, but those are part of any large population.

I mean, duhhhh

... which has what exactly to do with Hifter, the CIA and Libya?

So Goldstone cracked under pressure from the zionist mad-dogs. Not the first, won't be that last. There's plenty of honest men and women to step into the breach.
Tell me, did he say "Carry on with the genocide"? Nothing less will placate the mad dogs.

"Paleo", isn't that an Italian horse race?
