The Arab League said what?

Arab League asks U.N. for no-fly zone over Libya

Early this morning I heard that the Arab League has recommended the use of a No-Fly-Zone over Lybia.

My immediate reaction was: What Arab League is this?

Are these the same Arab countries that have supposedly fired upon protesters in the recent upheavals (pandemic unrest) throughout the Muslim Crescent? What irony? What hypocrisy?

This is as peculiar (an oxymoron) as having China and Russia on the U.N.'s Security Council...

I still wonder - Who is the Arab League?
