    Rugh: We found Saddam Hussein in Iraq in nine months with thousands of US troops looking. Libya is larger, with no US troops on the hunt.

    Rugh: Khaddafy must be considering the fate of other fallen Middle East leaders, such as Hosni Mubarak of Egypt.

    Rugh: Are leaders like Libyan National Transitional Council Chairman Mustafa Abdel Jalil tainted by prior association with Khaddafy?

    Rugh calls current Libyan transitional leadership "interesting" - some are Western educated and understand Western political systems.

    Rugh: How will new leadership treat the old guard? Will they be allowed to retire peacefully, or put on trial? Too early to tell.

    Rugh: Feldman said it seems to him leadership and rank and file of people who made the revolution are in very small % true Islamist.

    Rugh: Feldman also observed few women in transitional leadership and noted that U.S. looks to Libya to include women going forward.

    Rugh: Libya has indicated that women would become part of leadership, and Libyan women will surely look for this promise to be kept.

    Rugh: I don't think U.S. will play a major role in Libya. Won't be like Iraq or Afghanistan. No nation-building, no boots on the ground.

    Warde recalls previously being blacklisted from travel in Libya. He had been writing about terrorist financing.

    Warde: U.S. was skeptic on Libya until 2003. Other countries had been more willing to negage with Khaddafy on grounds that he had changed.
