i don't think there's anything good about the way this played out. if american soldiers took a live war criminal into custody i'd expect them to deliver him to medical care before trial.

i understand that the libyan rebels are a disorganized militia. i probably don't understand at an emotional level what it's like to live under a murderous despot. i'm sure whoever put the bullet in his head thought he was doing it for a very good reason.

but what he executed along with ghadaffi was the rule of law. and any chance for libyan society to have an accounting for the last 42 years.

south africa had truth and reconciliation. libya had this.

i don't know how anyone thinks this is good for us in the long run.
