The Libyan government today released three journalists — reporter Dave Clark and photographer Roberto Schmidt of AFP, and photographer Joe Raedle of Getty Images — after the three were captured by pro-Qaddafi forces on Saturday in eastern Libya, according to Agence France Presse.

On tonight's Late Night, best guest ever Brian Williams stopped by for a chat with Jimmy Fallon. When the subject of conversation switched to Libya, Fallon got uncharacteristically angry/political and began bashing President Obama and his lack of communication.

On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart—for the second night in a row—posed some pointed questions to President Obama related to the United States' military action in Libya. This time, Stewart took issue with Obama's lack of communication.

Fox News put its foot in its mouth yesterday by describing CNN's Nic Robertson and other reporters who attended a government-sponsored trip to view bomb damage as "human shields," because a Fox News security guard went along, too. Wait, what?

The Telegraph's Rob Crilly, reporting from northern Libya, has found a crashed U.S. F-15E fighter jet after following "a dodgy sounding tip." The BBC got confirmation from U.S. Africom that the plane went down last night. One crew member has been rescued, while the other is "in the process of recovery," an Africom spokesman said.

The role of the United States in the Libyan revolution is a difficult issue. Do we have the right to intervene? Do we have the duty? What are our responsibilities, as a superpower and as a member of the global community? These are thorny questions, and most of those who oppose a military response are giving them the respect and thought they deserve. These people are not.

The four New York Times journalists who were just freed after almost a week in the custody of the Libyan government told their story to coworker Jeremy Peters. And it sounds as terrifying as you might expect.

Over the weekend, the Unites States—along with France and England—began military attacks on Libya in an attempt to remove murderous dictator Muammar el-Qaddafi from power. Tonight, The Daily Show returned, and Jon Stewart questioned the coalition's actions.

Click to viewCNN correspondent Nic Robertson has a bone or two to pick with Fox News, which reported today that he and other journalists were used by the Libyan Ministry of Information as human shields, in a successful bid to block a coming, second attack on a compound in Tripoli, supposedly controlled by Qaddafi.

Operation Odyssey Dawn continues! Freedom bombs continue to rain down upon Libya today, while coalition nations try to stave off political divisions back home. A majority of Americans, however, support the creation of a no-fly zone. Rep. Dennis Kucinich would like to impeach Barack Obama. And what does "Odyssey Dawn" mean anyway? Here's your latest update of the news in and surrounding Libya.

Well, there you have it: Donald Trump says he "screwed" Muammar Qaddafi, in the sack. This is, so far, his greatest qualification in his fake run for the Republican presidential nomination. Oh wait, he just meant he "screwed" Qaddafi in real estate, not via actual sex.

Barely two days after U.N. authorization, the vaunted no-fly zone over Libya has been been "officially enforced" by a coalition of U.S., French and British forces. Here's the latest from the ongoing conflict in Libya:

Yesterday, forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi came under a blistering attack by U.S. and European naval and air forces. Meanwhile, anti-government protests continued today in Syria as U.S.-backed despots violently suppressed those who threaten the status quo. Here's a look at what's happening across the Middle East.

Vice Admiral William Gortney announced today that some 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired from U.S. ships and a British sub at Muammar Qaddafi's air defenses under under a U.N. mandate.

Tireless independent Libyan journalist Mohammad "Mo" Nabbous was killed today in Benghazi as Muammar Qaddafi's forces assaulted the city. In the audio recording above — Mo's last, from his Livestream channel Libya al-Hurra — you can hear him in the middle of an intense battle when the sound suddenly cuts off.

Despite a UN resolution and threats by European powers to strike Muammar Qaddafi's forces if they continue to attack Libyan cities, troops loyal to the Libyan dictator today assaulted the eastern city of Benghazi with tanks and aircraft. Update below.

President Obama spoke from the White House earlier this afternoon to give some details about that minor U.S.-supported military intervention in Libya authorization the United Nations passed yesterday. He probably didn't want to say anything, but he's jetting to Brazil this weekend and felt he should throw American citizens a bone about the possible third war we're entering.

The four New York Times staffers who went missing in Libya earlier this week—reporters Anthony Shadid and Stephen Farrell, and photographers Tyler Hicks and Lynsey Addario—are reportedly going to be released today. Muammar Qaddafi's son Saif told Christiane Amanpour that the four were picked up by the Libyan Army:

As the United Nations voted last night to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, a totally sane Muammar Qaddafi sat down with a Portuguese TV news channel. He had some interesting things to say:

The U.N. Security council just voted 10-0 to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, authorizing "all necessary measures" to protect Libyan citizens. The announcement was met with cheers by rebels. The Qaddafi government's response: "Any foreign military act against Libya will expose all air and maritime traffic in the Mediterranean Sea to danger and civilian and military facilities will become targets of Libya's counter-attack."
