We bombed Qaddafi's forces because they were killing civilians. So Qaddafi's forces began dressing like civilians. So the rebels began killing civilians. So NATO is warning the rebels not to kill civilians, otherwise NATO will bomb the rebels. But the rebels are dressed like civilians.So NATO may end up killing civilians.

In other news, the administration continues to debate arming the rebels who are dressed like civilians. But Qaddafi's forces are also dressed like civilians. So we may be arming Qaddafi's forces who are killing civilians while we also bomb the rebels who are killing civilians and bombing civilians who really are civilians but look like Qaddafi's forces who are killing civilians.

Who's on first?

Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- At least two people died after aircraft fired missiles at a rebel formation on the eastern Libyan battlefront, witnesses said Thursday, an act that left opposition forces wondering whether NATO aircraft conducted a mistaken airstrike on the forces they are trying to protect.

It's unclear whether Libyan aircraft or the alliance conducted the strike, between al-Brega and Ajdabiya, but there haven't been Libyan air force planes in the skies for some time because NATO aircraft have established a no-fly zone.

A NATO representative in Brussels, Belgium, said the coalition is looking into the report.

If it was in fact a NATO strike, rebels say it would have been the second in a week's time. Last week, airstrikes hit several rebel vehicles and killed at least 13 rebel fighters in the al-Brega area, a spokesman for the Libyan opposition said. That report was under investigation by NATO.

Members of the opposition said they have been disappointed with NATO's performance, but NATO said weather conditions and tactics by the Gadhafi regime, such as using human shields and hiding equipment in populated areas, have hindered their efforts.
