Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Tripoli Tuesday to meet with Libya’s Transitional National Council President Mustafa Abdel-Jalil and pledge additional US support as Libyans form a new government. She is the most senior US official to visit the war-torn country since NATO’s Operation Odyssey Dawn/Unified Protector kicked off in March.
