Meet British military officers in Libya!

Oh! Amazing!
"British military officers will be sent to Libya to advise rebels fighting Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's forces, the UK government has said.
The BBC understands 10 officers will provide logistics and intelligence training in a UK and French operation.
Mr Hague said it was compatible with the UN resolution on Libya, which ruled out foreign military ground action.
He stressed that the officers would not be involved in any fighting and the move was needed to help protect civilians." [1]
William Hague: "This is not British ground combat forces going in... this is fully in-line with the UN resolution" [2]

I think, it is to late to speak about legality of this step, I jast want to say that this is first official confirmation of the ground support for Libyan rebels.
