Woohoo.

BBC is reporting that it can't confirm it. So the news is that there may be some news but they don't know what the news is or if it's news.

I'm waiting until mobile phone footage is uploaded of the rebels tea-bagging him.

JennyGenesis · #9 10-20-2011, 08:38 AM

Sky News showed some footage of what looked like Gaddafi bleeding to death in the back of a pickup truck.

I felt sorry for him when I saw them tearing him to bits, then I remembered who he was and I dunno, felt he deserved it I guess.

Crashpunk · #11 10-20-2011, 09:31 AM

You shouldn't feel bad for him at all. He did deserve it and he had it coming since the start.

STM · #12 10-20-2011, 10:05 AM

Yeh I know, but seeing anyone in such a feeble state always gives me a twinge deep down, I cant' help it.

It’s not Saif in Libya!

JennyGenesis · #14 10-20-2011, 03:11 PM

There seems to be an official confirmation of his death now...

moxco · #15 10-20-2011, 09:56 PM

It appears that world leaders only seem to bother overthrowing violent dictators when it becomes popular to hate them and beneficial at the polls.

Phylum · #16 10-20-2011, 11:12 PM

What about his dead?

JennyGenesis · #17 10-21-2011, 01:22 AM

He is being buried in secret today apparently,

It's not exactly a secret anymore is it?

Does this really surprise you?

Thread title’s grammatically correct in this case.

:

So you know where he’s being buried?

please say they’re sticking him back in that drain

I didn't mean like that,

How can you secretly burry someone though?

I don't think it's something you can really be discrete about.

moxco · #21 10-21-2011, 03:20 AM

Where is Hitler's remains?

No body has yet discovered all the bodies I've burried up and down the country.

It bothers me that world leaders are applauding this event and congratulating the Libyan liberators rather than criticising them for committing a war crime. I'd much prefer to see him alive, suffer through a trial for his crimes and forced to reveal where he'd stashed all the money he'd embezzled over the years.

moxco · #24 10-21-2011, 04:04 AM

How did they commit a war crime?

***Nate*** · #25 10-21-2011, 04:04 AM

They murdered a prisoner of war. And if you don't think he was a POW, then it was just normal murder.

At the moment they’re still in the process of investigating his death. Supposedly he was killed in a crossfire between the rebels and the loyalists, although that’s not been confirmed.

I think we’d all have liked to see him alive and trialled, though.

Havoc · #27 10-21-2011, 04:18 AM

That doesn't change the fact that they murdered someone. The rebels are not an authorized force with a license to kill, despite the backing of the US and stuff. They were actively seeking him out to kill him so that does qualify as a war crime.

moxco · #28 10-21-2011, 04:39 AM

Sort of like the USA and Osama Bin Laden?

***Nate*** · #29 10-21-2011, 04:53 AM

Which is why the US claims that SEAL Team 6 had instructions to capture him if it was possible.

Oh, I hadn't heard that. The articles I read suggested that he was captured in the drainpipe and then beaten up in captivity.

killed in crossfire = murdered
