Do a quick google search and you will find that this story of chaos and dissillusion with the civil war has been quickly scrubbed from most of the mainstream online sites -- WP NYTimes, etc -- and can be only temporarily found in Google cache.
For instance, try finding the phrase "slaying of Abdel-Fattah Younis raised fear and uncertainty" in a mainstrean publication.
Some may find this interesting. ------ http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jul/30/libya-general-younis-islamists-blamed
Younis's death has raised fear and uncertainty in Benghazi, the rebel stronghold. Thousands marched behind his coffin, wrapped in the rebels' tricolour flag, to the graveyard for his burial, chanting that he was a martyr "beloved by God". Troops fired a military salute as the coffin arrived, and angry and grieving supporters fired wildly into the air with automatic weapons.
At the graveside, Younis's son, Ashraf, broke down in tears as they lowered the body into the ground. And in a startling and risky display in a city so allied to the rebel cause, pleaded hysterically for Gaddafi's return to bring stability back to Libya. "We want Muammar to come back! We want the green flag back!" he shouted at the crowd, referring to Gaddafi's national banner.

At the graveside, Younis' son, Ashraf, broke down, crying and screaming as they lowered the body into the ground and – in a startling and risky display in a city that was the first to shed Gadhafi's rule nearly six months ago – pleaded hysterically for the return of the Libyan leader to bring stability.
"We want Moammar to come back! We want the green flag back!" he shouted at the crowd, referring to Gadhafi's national banner.
