The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point operates a scholarly publication called THE SENTINEL which appears to be a monthly newsletter of scholarly materials related to the ongoing efforts to counter and discourage the efforts of terrorist elements within the U.S. military’s areas of operation. It was cited by Felter and Fishman in an article on foreignpolicy.com which sought to address the potential complications of aligning with relatively unknown forces in Libya for the single purpose of inflicting a change of government.
On that subject, the easiest comparison that can be drawn is that it is much like arming the Afghan mujahedin against the Soviets. The difference, as I see it, is that after the Soviets withdrew, the U.S. abandoned the region. This would, ideally, not be the case in Libya.
At any rate, this site appears to be a valuable resource. I am adding it my list of potential researches.
