"So when the rebels start massacring civilians who were pro-government supporters or start shelling civilian areas in these cities, will NATO bomb them?"

Of course not. Nor will our media report any massacres. An unarmed civilian is anyone except Qaddafi's forces and must be protected by bombing and strafing.

Here is the latest AOL News report. At the time it was written Sirte was not yet taken, a fortified place 55 miles to the east of Sirte was considered a major obstacle. When the 2 oil towns were retaken by the rebels they found 20 handcuffed bodies of soldiers from the Firjan tribe. Aside from Qadaffi’s Qadaffadha(sp?) tribe in Sirte, the Firjan are also a large tribe that took part in the 1990’s uprising against him. A number were executed. There are 4 other tribes inside Sirte that will probably remain neutral. It looks like the taking of Sirte could be really messy.
