There is a group of folks claiming to be anti-gaddafi who have been very subtly pro-gaddafi.
They repeat all the right things, but when it comes to key issues that have been common causes for all free Libyans,
LibyansWB has tried to counter that effort by injecting what is effectively the Gaddafi government position.


The fact that they have internet in Tripoli, when everyone else in Tripoli has been cut off since March 3/4 is suspicious.
That they fail to acknowledge or explain this is even more telling.

I've heard numerous people online tell people to be wary of these guys who have both twitter and facebook accounts:
LibyansWB: http://www.twitter.com/LibyansWB
https://www.facebook.com/LibyansWB?sk=wall&filter=2


Lots of reports of them pumping Saif's fake libyan tv station (anyone with info on that please followup with that)
and messaging people in Tripoli asking them for their names and numbers!

Here is just a week or so worth of tweets from them,
I've filtered out the rehashed 'anti-gaddafi' tweets and picked out the ones where they take a stance.
All this stuff they're tweeting is while people are being killed in many cities throught Libya.
I've not looked at their Facebook page, which might have even more incriminating stuff.

Claims Libyans in Tripoli resent the NATO strike

Complaining about NTC guy for smiling (not sure which one)
https://twitter.com/#!/LibyansWB/status/50598116235296768


Keep in mind the above is just from a week or so! On just their twitter account!
The worrying thing is that they are trying to get names of people in Tripoli.
I've very worried for the folks who may have provided them with information.

Skimming their tweets lately, they really want someone to get them in contact with the NTC, which can't be a good thing.

I'd encourage people to be very skeptical of this account, and be very very careful about sharing your name or contact information with these people.
