In fact, it includes practically all of them, so imagine what may lie ahead. The London Guardian quoted State Department official Heather Hurlburt admitting what should be widely known; namely that:

"I have not seen a whole lot of effort to keep defining this in humanitarian terms."

In other words, she officially called the pretext for intervening a lie, in more polite terms.

With tongue in cheek perhaps, she added:

"There is a perception in the UN that NATO's campaign has gone way beyond the mandate."

She, of course, knows it was planned that way well before bombing began on March 19.

New York Times articles, commentaries and editorials discussed little of what's explained above. 

Instead, on August 28, writers Helene Cooper and Steven Lee Myers produced a typical Times Pentagon/administration handout piece headlined, "US Tactics in Libya May Be a Model for Other Efforts," suggesting perhaps raping Libya reflects US generosity.
