TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARLos Angeles Times:
The CIA has been on the ground in rebel-held areas of Libya since shortly after the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli was evacuated, U.S. officials say. Agency officers are meeting with rebels in an effort to learn more about them, and in some cases providing them with non-lethal assistance. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the matter.
On Monday, Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough told a group of journalists at the White House that “we’re looking at … specific non-lethal assistance of the sort that they might find useful.”
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
