New advances have led Libyan rebels to regain ground, on the oil port of Brega yesterday, after Gaddafi's forces retreated. They've recovered mostly desert terrain which was lost in a pell-mell retreat from superior government firepower the day before. An oil port is a huge advantage for the rebels, but now they need to take Tripoli because taking the capital will really stick it to Gaddafi, who is becoming a rather unpopular man throughout the Arab world.
