You should have a look at http://www.iiss.org – they have a few very good pieces on Libya, including maps and comments by military experts.

I think the International Crisis Group (ICG) website also rates a mention here. It does not have much on Libya itself, but provides great insight into the wider questions confronting authoritarian transition regimes in the Middle-East North Africa region and its commentary is always highly practical, emphasising innovative but workable solutions.
Have a look at the ICT4Peace Foundation’s Libya crisi wiki, which is particularly interesting for people working in the area of humanitarian aid: http://wiki.ict4peace.org/w/page/36968599/2011-Libyan-Uprising
