What I fail to understand is how this is public info.

How it's public knowledge doesn't matter...

Anyways until we know the details of the arms it's hard to pass judgment. No it's not, it's ridiculously simple.

We shoudn't do it. Period.

It was a civil war. An argument could even be made that our involvement in "protecting civilians" allowed for it to continue to be a civil war. As soon as we start helping one side or the other, though, it ceases to be that, and that's bad...

I was never a fan of blaming Charlie Wilson for arming bin Laden & co. After all it did beat the soviets. The difference, of course, is that Wilson had a goal: to see the Soviets defeated. We don't know what the goal is for Libya...
