And the U.S. is now seriously considering no fly zones over Libya to protect the rebels..
I've been looking for some context for this situation and have found this Lew Rockwell article quite helpful.
I'd recommend you just click on the link and read the whole thing, but at least checkout his writings on the fomenting of rebels by British Intelligence:
Morally Indignant Sharks Circle Libya While Osama Smiles

This writer has reported for weeks that Britain’s elite Special Air Service (SAS) has been rallying anti-Gadaffi forces in and around Benghazi, seizing desert oil installations, and helping attack pro-Gadaffi forces. Britain has stoutly denied this.
Then, oh dear! To London’s monumental embarrassment, eight SAS and intelligence officers from MI6 Secret Intelligence Service were arrested in Libya. They have since departed aboard a British warship. But this contingent was only one of many active in Libya and made liars of the British government. Sticky wicket, what!
Speaking of double standards, the Brits, who have been howling about Somali pirates, grabbed a Libya-bound freighter laden with Libyan currency in the finest tradition of Sir Henry Morgan. Washington is trying to put the grabbers on Libya’s $70 billion sovereign wealth fund. The age of piracy is not dead.
...
British intelligence has been active in Benghazi for thirty years, stirring up anti-Gadaffi sentiment and trying to subvert his rule.
In 1998, Britain’s MI6 mounted an unsuccessful attempt in Benghazi to murder Gadaffi with a car bomb because of his support for the IRA. Many civilians died. Now, the Brits have gone into high gear, apparently trying to reassert London’s influence over its former oil-rich former colony.
