Hehe, there's no more green cities on the Libyan Civil War map on Wikipedia.

Sirte is not actually marked on the map, but the general area is smack-dab in the middle of the Arab/Arab-Berber areas. Most people talking about ethnic cleansing are more concerned about black Libyans, which the Berbers and Arabs obviously look different from.
I have no doubt that there will be lootings and probably some revenge killings after the battle. However, those killings will most likely be politically, rather than ethnically, motivated killings.
BTW, can someone tell me if it counts as ethnic cleansing if a portion of an ethnic group is killed based on their political beliefs and not their race?

No, it's simply political repression. But Berbers were persecuted anyway because of their race. This happened across all of North Africa, although their rights have largely been returned in Algeria and Morocco. Berber rights in Libya were non existent until the NTC.

They're gonna go below the streets of Sirte, to join Gaddafi's water mutants in a secret underground sewer city called Squirte. Someone tell the rebels.

One thing in there that really creeped me out was that near the former "Green Hall", where Gaddafi visited and gave propaganda lectures, Gaddafi had his own secret bedroom suite on campus, with a queen bed, a hot tub, and a... gynecological examining table.
