Libyan intelligence documents show ties to CIA - by Ben Hubbard

The CIA worked closely with Moammar Gadhafi's intelligence services in the rendition of terror suspects to Libya for interrogation, according to documents seen Saturday by the AP, cooperation that could spark tensions between Washington and Libya's new rulers.

The CIA was among a number of foreign intelligence services that worked with Libya's agencies, according to documents found at a Libyan security agency building in Tripoli.

Reports of such cooperation have surfaced before, but the documents provide new details on the ties between Western countries and Gadhafi's regime. Many of those same countries backed the NATO attacks that helped Libya's rebels force Gadhafi from power.

Note EU-Digest: this is not anything abnormal. Legitimate Governments cooperate together whether they are democratic or not. Once a government loses power by whatever means, alliances shift accordingly.
