From Fox News...President Obama has signed a secret presidential finding authorizing covert operations in Libya, although the administration still hasn't decided whether to arm rebel forces there, a U.S. official confirmed to Fox News.
The presidential findings establish a framework of legal authorities for covert action. They can authorize specific actions, such as arming the rebels, or establish authorities under which future actions might be taken after permissions are given to undertake them.
In other words, covert actions won't start until the president signs off again.
The Pentagon has begun drafting plans for arming the rebels if needed, sources told Fox News, but officials caution that no decision has been made because not enough is known yet about the rebels.
