Thousands of Libyans in Benghazi March in Protest Against Militias
Some haven't forgotten the goals of the Arab Spring
More than 10,000 Libyans are marching through the eastern city of Benghazi, demanding the disbanding of powerful militias that run rampant in the city.
The giant march, which filled a major boulevard in the city of 1 million, is part of a new public backlash against militias sparked by last week's attack against the U.S. Consulate here that killed the ambassador and three other Americans. At least one militia is suspected of participating in the attack.

"More than 10,000 Libyans are marching through the eastern city of Benghazi, demanding the disbanding of powerful militias that run rampant in the city." Isn't this a Bell-the-Cat problem?
Next time you think "Where are all the good Muslims decrying this shit", remember this.
