Abdurraheem el-Keib, a dual U.S.-Libyan citizen and a longtime professor at U.S. universities, was chosen by the members of Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC) as the country's new prime minister. He reportedly received 26 out of 51 votes of the NTC members, and will replace Mahmoud Jibril, who resigned following the declaration of Libya's liberation on Oct. 23.«o» President Obama is headed for the G20 conference in the French city of Cannes, where the most likely topic of discussion will be the European debt crisis. Will they get #Occupied? Stand by but check on the internet, because the media will entirely ignore any such actions... even when tens of thousands of people are in the streets. How they do that, and more importantly WHY these protests are ignored speaks reams of newsprint in itself.
Keib is a native of Tripoli, and earned a PhD at North Carolina State University in 1984. He then served as a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Alabama, and went on to work at The Petroleum Institute in the United Arab Emirates.
Keib was hailed as a technocrat by his NTC colleagues, and laid out a plan for the next eight months that focused on restoring stability to the civil war-torn country, and establishing control over Libya's disparate militias. [In Full with links]
Top Justice Dept. official: ATF should have stopped 'gun walking' tacticsGot that? It's been going on at LEAST since the George W. Bush administration.

Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer said top-ranking officials at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) should have taken action when he told them about controversial “gun walking” used in a gun-tracking operation.
Testifying before the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on crime and terrorism on Tuesday, Breuer attempted to take a large portion of the blame for allowing the tactics to be used in Operation Fast and Furious, saying that he regretted not taking more action.
But Breuer — the highest level Justice Department official to admit to knowing about the “gun walking” tactics before the press exposed them — stressed to the committee’s ranking Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) that he failed to inform Attorney General Eric Holder about the controversial methods because he had told ATF leadership of the potential problem.
Before Tuesday’s hearing, Breuer acknowledged knowing that the ATF used “gun walking” — the practice of allowing criminals to take possession of firearms — in a previous operation, Wide Receiver, under President George W. Bush’s administration from 2006 to 2007. [More Details]
"An Iranian living in Texas has been accused of a plot to kill the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the US and attack embassies after a DEA agent in Mexico allegedly discovered that a Zeta drug gang member had been approached to do a 'hit' on the ambassador. (source)".Most people in the know saw this as a joke when it first appeared in the press, and indeed, the US government back-tracked, hemmed, hawed, and let the story settle into the nothingness that it really was. But in the background... despite it's total lack of veracity, the story has it's usefulness.
