States increase its "military and political understanding" of the situation,
a U.S. intelligence source said Wednesday.
"Yes, we are gathering intel firsthand and we are in contact with some
opposition entities," the source told CNN.
The White House refused to comment on a Reuters report Wednesday that
President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing covert U.S.
government support for rebel troops.
"I will reiterate what the president said yesterday -- no decision has been
made about providing arms to the opposition or to any group in Libya," said
White House press secretary Jay Carney in a statement. "We're not ruling it
out or ruling it in. We're assessing and reviewing options for all types of
assistance that we could provide to the Libyan people, and have consulted
directly with the opposition and our international partners about these
matters." |
