So now are we starting to see what the ìntervention`in Libya is about?

Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the "rebel leader" and Gaddafi’s justice minister until February, recently pledged, "Our friends... will have the best opportunity in future contracts with Libya." The east holds most of Libya’s oil, the greatest reserves in Africa. In March the rebels, with expert foreign guidance, "transferred" to Benghazi the Libyan Central Bank, a wholly owned state institution-a pretty much unprecedented action. Meanwhile, the US and the EU "froze" almost US$100 billion in Libyan funds, "the largest sum ever blocked", according to official statements. Still think this whole deal is about humanitarian issues?
