1. Libya's oil wealth was put on the open market in 2004
...its easy enough to google back and read about it, including how all that settled out by 2006 or so.

The NTC has always said that all existing contracts would be honored, and nothing has changed with the change at the top. France (or, more properly, french-owned oil companies) has its share, as it has for the past few years.

The article is just another in a long string which seems to answer a need for people to impose simple good-vs-evil narratives on complicated events. Which is ok, it saves many people from a lot of thinking, I guess...
