Just watching Sky's link to Lybia where the Chairman of NTC is addressing a crowd in Benghazi. Just proclaimed that Libya is to adopt sharia as legal basic with all the beauties of rights for women, polygamy, etc.

Is this what the UK was fighting for when supporting the rebels?

Democracy to Libya and human rights my arse!!!!!

No idea, I was listening to what he was saying to the crowd (via the sky translator of course)...

Sky is now reporting that sharia is going to be a base for the law. Political advisor is being interviewed saying they are just "falling on their heritage".

Did he really say that Shock

Here's what the BBC has on its website so far. It says it will take six months for the new constitution to be ready, and that there will be a referendum on it. That all sounds promising.

Is it at all possible that they are having to fall back on sharia law temporarily simply to fill a post-Gahaffi void?
