You do know that the daily mail is a tabloid, right?

I am very familiar with the London newspapers. Here is the same news from a source with which you are undoubtedly more comfortable. I found a link to this story in the Huffington Post. You still won't like the news. Of course, The Democratic Underground is in denial. The London media usually report news that might prove embarrassing to the Obama administration a few days before it appears deeply buried (if at all) in the New York Times. You probably will never see this in the the San Francisco newspapers that you read.[INDENT]

Al Qaeda Plants Its Flag In Libya

It was here at the courthouse in Benghazi where the first spark of the Libyan revolution ignited. It’s the symbolic seat of the revolution; post-Gaddafi Libya’s equivalent of Egypt’s Tahrir Square. And it was here, in the tumultuous months of civil war, that the ragtag rebel forces established their provisional government and primitive, yet effective, media center from which to tell foreign journalists about their “fight for freedom.”

But according to multiple eyewitnesses—myself included—one can now see both the Libyan rebel flag and the flag of al Qaeda fluttering atop Benghazi’s courthouse.

According to one Benghazi resident, Islamists driving brand-new SUVs and waving the black al Qaeda flag drive the city’s streets at night shouting, "Islamiya, Islamiya! No East, nor West," a reference to previous worries that the country would be bifurcated between Gaddafi opponents in the east and the pro-Gaddafi elements in the west.
