Juan Cole was the biggest cheerleader of the Libyan opposition during the Libyan crisis that led to the assassination of Qaddafi, he was all over left media, especially Democracy Now! He sounded ecstatic when Qaddafi was lynched. I even remember reading one of his articles where he claims the US military is too moral to target civilians...ugh anyways....
