International human rights groups, including Amnesty, and the UN human rights chief Navi Pillay have urged an investigation to clear up the facts surrounding Gadhafi's death. But the UN said it had not been contacted in relation to media reports that Gadhafi's wife had appealed for an international investigation into her husband's killing.
The manner of his demise seemed to matter little to the Libyans who celebrated through the night in preparation of a new dawn in the troubled North African country.
Gadhafi's death means the transitional government in Libya can avoid a long trial and proceed quickly with plans to declare the country "liberated" as soon as Saturday, and set up a new administration in the capital, Tripoli, without threat of an insurgency led by the former dictator.

He was quoting Joe Jackson?
They’re not talkin’ ‘bout right and left
They’re talkin’ ‘bout
Right and wrong - do you know the difference
Right and wrong - do you know the difference
‘Tween the right and the left and the east and the west
What you know and the things that you’ll never see

He should have offered to pay them.
Criticizing people who are about to kill you is counter productive.

I doubt the victims aboard Pan Am 103 had a chance to as Gadhafi if he knew right from wrong.

I was sitting in a car dealership, forced to watch CNN while waiting for a flat tire to be fixed. All the talking heads were looking a little embarrassed as they sought for various excuses for gunning Kaddafi down in cold blood after he surrendered.
They didn’t look any too happy about it, but they were not about to admit it. Videos of the corpse alternated with videos of the rebels and videos of fireworks going up over the city. Pretty ugly, if you ask me.

You know, a man like Quadaffi asking that question is ironic, however, I have a terrible feeling about what happened, that it’s part of a bigger plan in which the Obama and his buddies are involved.
Dunno what the aim is, and I hope I’m wrong, but my country seems to have gone Evil, and I no longer trust us at all.

Funny, when it’s HIS life on the line; it’s time to play the “Do you know right from wrong” game.
But, when he ordered the shelling of citizens in cities, the deaths of adversaries and the promotion of terrorism around the world, right and wrong didn’t matter.

I have no illusions about the fact that Muammar el-Qaddafi was a BAD GUY. However, I found the first-hand observations about Libya made by former British MI5 Agent Annie Machon at ChicagoNow.com quite interesting
QUOTE Theyve had free education, free health, they could study abroad. When they got married they got a certain amount of money. So they were rather the envy of many other citizens of African countries. Now, of course, since NATOs humanitarian intervention the infrastructure of their country has been bombed back to the Stone Age. They will not have the same quality of life. Women probably will not have the same degree of emancipation under any new transitional government. The national wealth is probably going to be siphoned off by Western corporations. Perhaps the standard of living in Libya might have been slightly higher than it perhaps is now in America and the UK with the recession, UNQUOTE she said.

Moammar Gadhafi asked the fighters who captured him "Do you know right from wrong?" in what could well have been the final words of the ousted Libyan dictator. I heard that his last words were: "I need this like a hole in the head."

I’m not saying the bass turd didn’t deserve killing but as a human being, I just didn’t like the way it went down. Way too many smiles, “happy faces” and two fingered “peace signs”. I guess I’m just too “old school”. All the celebrating in the U.S. state run “media” really disgusts me.
