I always wondered what the difference between summary execution via cruise missile and a Kalashnikov is?
The execution is probably the best indicator of what lies in store for Libya; from one dictator to the next.
The left media and their fellow travellers are attempting to portray the killing of Gaddafi as a war crime. This suits their postmodern ends, where every facet of normal experience and behaviour is dissected through their armchair eyes.
Gaddafi died having been pulled from a drain, a fitting place to find, a done for dictator at the end of his time.
My contacts in Sirte tell me that he was found by freedom fighters who were highly emotional ( as one would be ) and who acted without any defined rules of engagement.
Civil Wars tend to be like this.
My contact tells me he was shot in the head, neck, torso and one leg by a freedom fighter. It is not difficult to imagine, and unconfirmed I must say, that this person or his family suffered brutally at the hands of Gaddafi or his fellow goons.
Many versions of his death will appear.
Better him dead than carry on his insults in some laughable international tribunal concocted by the UN.
Justice is best meted out in close temporal and physical proximity to the crime.

The despots are wondering who wll be next. Will it be Syria's Bashar Al Ashid or Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejkad? Perhaps it will be our own fair Julia who will have to be dragged kicking and screaming from a drain pipe.

It should be a 2-pretzel-pack-a-night year on the shortwave radio between 2am and 4pm Queensland time, this year.

Bit too obscure for me to interpret I'm afraid - "please explain?"
.Sorry mate,
When a dictator or regime was about to go, I used get in beer and pretzels and tune my shortwave to the BBC. They usually fell or got done in around 2 or 3am my time, as The ole Moamar did
With twitter and the internet it's easier nowadays.gg

Agree, it would have been nice for the people to rise above Gadaffi's terror, some tried but others failed.
Thanks for the post.
Um, gloves or a rake?I always wondered what the difference between summary execution via cruise missile and a Kalashnikov is?
Well if you guys don't agree with the method of Gaddafi's going, you shouldn't be watching the videos.
Okay, as long as you accept that the lynch mob who did it are no better than he.
In the Panorama programme, a former subordinate of Mr Koussa's called Nouri al-Burki said he was beaten at Abu Salim Prison in 2004 "until my body died", including having his testicles inserted into a giant stapler. He was then interrogated personally by Mr Koussa.
"He knew and he was certain that I had been tortured and that my honour had been destroyed and that I had been unjustly arrested," he said.
I reckon he deserved it. He got what was coming to him. Better that than making a fool of some weak International Court of so-called Justice.
You miss the point. Of course he deserved to die. The smart thing to do would have been to kill him instead of capturing him. This led to his lynching. However I have never been a supporter of lynch mob mentality. The participants in lynch mobs can't claim to be any better than Gadaffi. Okay you approve of lynching. I don't. End of story.

Personally I thought he was treated lightly, considering the misery he caused.
