fjotes is correct there is no moral implications here, however if the author states up front that this is one person's oppinion and account of the events I don't think anyone would falt the author. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and no one can fault the author for leaving things out or not interpreting things the way they do becuase no one has a full appreciation for all aspects of the events in lybia.

As an undergraduate one of the things that I took classes in is the retoric of argument, which means the art of argument. One of the things that we learned is to point to an excepted authority of certain aspects of the issue at hand such as Mirriam and Webster, who is excepted as the authority on the definition of words. Where I am going with this is to suggest using wikipedia as an authority on the history of lybia and reference wikipedia as it is generaly an excepted authority on history and it will talk about the brotherly leader's rise to authority.
