"The New York Times said the U.S. government's expectation is that the information they collect the CIA, including the location of ammunition dumps, can be used for the same purpose. Meanwhile, "The Washington Post" noted that the directive signed by Obama "may" authorize the CIA to make efforts to arm the rebels Libya, although officials stressed that no final decision has been taken in this regard.
Presidential spokesman Jay Carney reiterated that Obama has not taken a decision in response to media reports to that effect, but insisted that all options are on the table. "Not ruling it out. We are evaluating and reviewing options for all types of assistance we can provide to the Libyans.
