Excellent news.
I've been lucky enough to have made a fantastic journey starting in Thunis and ending in Alexandria - and crossing the whole of Libya - a few years back, when Libya was reasonably quiet. Sabratha, Lepcis Magna, Cyrene and Ptolemais are really worth it, especially since they were not completely overrun with tourists as is the case with the sites in Greece, Italy or Turkey. The Museum in Tripoli and the Bardo in Tunis are also fantastic.
After the looting in Iraq and the much more recent fire at the Institut d'Egypte (less than a month ago, on December 17th 2011) along with the Nour Salafists proposals of destroying/covering the pyramids (according to the Daily Mail, for what it's worth), we were due some good news!
