For starters, these are great threads. I check them several times a thread.

As for the specific reports from Bin Jawwad, it is possible that there is no longer a Gadhafi army in the east after Benghazi, Ajdabiya and the retreat to Brega. We will find out soon enough when the rebels get to Sirte, but it is possible that the tribes of Sirte are literally all that Gadhafi has left east of Misurata. There may not be a regular military left.
