"The law proposed by the ruling National Transitional Council would bar former members of Gadhafi's regime from running in the election. It would even ban anyone who got a degree based on academic research on the Green Book – Gadhafi's rambling political manifesto that laid out his theory of government and society declaring Libya a "republic of the masses."" The law adds that those who served as Ministers of Justice for Qadhdhafi (like Abdul-NATO) or those who served as mentors for Saif Al-Islam (like Jibril) would of course be exempted from the new law.
