Cardinalpark at Tigerhawk ("thoughts of the day on international affairs, politics, things that strike us as hilarious and personal observations") shares some speculation.
Money quote(s):
"I've been struck by the relative quiet from our current administration regarding events in Libya. Having said that, I am as yet reluctant to criticize our silence. It is possible that silence actually means something more intriguing and useful in this context. I'll grant you, this is an optimists view, but fueled by 2 possibilities - one highly likely, the other less so. The first - we have a material number of Americans and friends who need to be evacuated promptly so they do not become hostages to Qaddafi in the region. Active efforts to locate and evacuate them are better served by stealth rather than vocal antagonism."
