Gadhafi should have been automatically protected because he spoke out against the US and Israel at the UN. He dissented, in other words. Just like the US Constitution, Gadhafi's right to dissent should have been protected. Any NATO-type attack should have automatically been denied on the basis of protected free speech and the assumption that Gadhafi was being targeted simply because he spoke-out against the US and Israel at the UN. Otherwise there is nothing to shield foreign nations or their leaders from being attacked by a highly-armed force that acts more or less like organized crime leaders attacking their rivals. If the US is allowed to foment illegal CIA/Mossad "revolutions" in countries where their leaders disagree with the US and its policies then there is no real ability to dissent or question the policies of the US. This then more or less becomes a "dictatorship" with rogue war powers.
The Immense Criminal Enterprise Known as "Responsibility to Protect." Foreword by Tony Cartalucci
October 19, 2011 - Meet Dr. Sliman Bouchuiguir, the man behind the verified pack of lies used to justify NATO's intervention in Libya. This amazing piece of investigative journalism reveals not only how tenuous these fabrications were, but have produced Bouchuiguir himself admitting fragrantly that the allegations he made were contrived, baseless, unconfirmed, and designed specifically to give the necessary requirements for NATO's intervention.
Furthermore, Bouchuiguir reveals his ties to both the Libyan rebel "National Transitional Council," particularly NTC Prime Minister Mahmoud Jabril (also spelled "Gibril") whom he cites as a source for his allegations, and the US government-funded International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH). These associations paint a dark picture of the depths of depravity from which this war was prosecuted from. This is the justification for a "humanitarian war" where self-serving foreign interests masquerading as "international institutions" arrange for a disgruntled opposition vying for power whom they are supporting, funding, arming, and whose leaders they are harboring, to manage the perception of a given conflict to provide a predictably slanted pretext for "international intervention." This immense criminal enterprise, referred to as "responsibility to protect" or "R2P" is a subject now being covered in depth atcolorrevolutionsandgeopolitics.blogspot.com, and a subject the public must be educated on as "R2P" is the pretext these same interests are attempting to use against Syria and beyond.
Please visit the website of the makers of this documentary, here. For an in depth, documented look at the subject matter, please see Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya's excellent article titled, "Lybia: Human rights impostors used to spawn NATO's fraudulent war."

spiegel.de just has the notice that Gaddafi seems to have been captured, wounded. Not knowing any details right now.
What will be next? More like Saddam or more like Milosevic?
The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
Just beat me to it Carsten. Well niether Milosevic or Saddam received any justice and I don't expect Gaddafi to either. And he is an inconvenient witness to far too much.

Al Jazeera reports him dead...and seemingly killed by NATO [likely to prevent him having people like the American leaders and French, Italian, British and other leaders as witnesses at his trial]......

The Truth gets less and less clear....the best I can make out [through the fog of war] is that he was captured, but whoever had custody of him, killed him. It seems someone didn't want him on trial......or most everyone in power both in and out of Libya!.......it is reported that his body has been removed to a secret location...i.e. not to be shown.
It almost doesn't matter what is said now, the truth may never come out.......almost predictable. :darthvader:

There is now a video [on Al Jazeera] of Gadaffi dead on the street, with NO bullet holes in his head or torso....they came later, if that photo you posted is real. I still feel he was caught alive and executed.......by whom is not known; when is not known; in the video one sees only the feet of the soldiers around the body. Reports are than many of his top people were also killed today. Apparently, they were all found together. It remains to be seen if any of them survive to stand a trial. Dead men don't talk.
