#2 Most of the "cooperation" with Libya was because Qaddafi was violently anti-al Qaeda. He not only butchered those that entered his turf, but was more than happy to take back any renditioned Libyans caught making mischief elsewhere, with his secret police squeezing any intel out of them before disposal.

Had he not been such an unpredictable wing nut, he could have been a damned good ally.
