So in Libya now it's "no-fly plus"

NATO approves expanded role in Libya - CNN.com

NATO ambassadors unanimously approved a so-called "no-fly plus" plan that will put the alliance in charge of protecting civilians as well as enforcing a no-fly zone and an arms embargo.

So then, protecting civilians, right? Well...

"Our goal is to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas under threat of attack from the Gadhafi regime," NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said. 

Ah. But if they're under threat of attack by the rebels, not so much. 

And by the way. Raise your hand if you know who these rebels are.
