    There are some conflicting reports on this - some are reporting he's dead, others say he was captured while hiding in a drainage pipe. (WTF?)

    Story

    Either way, good riddance.

    [​IMG] He was captured live, it's being reported on TV here, he was mortally wounded during the capture though.

    Celebrations in the region are in good swing.

    Here they say he was wounded during a bombing run on his convoy, by NATO aircrafts!

    We'll wait.

    Which would mean both are true - he's captured and dead.

    I think I would have been more excited to hear about his death 20 years ago. Strangely, now I'm more worried that his death will further destablize the region. Maybe I'm wrong but US/Libya relations have been kind of neutral for years. Now I'm concerned that the new regime will be anti-US and we miss the good olde days.

    Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

    I suppose it's better this way. At least we don't have go through a mock trial, a Youtube'd hanging and everything that comes with it.

    I'm trying to hold back my tears and succeeding admirably. ;)

    I'm also hoping against hope that the new Libyan administration will turn out to be an enlightened democracy.

    Who cares? The people there have their freedom. Americans who are addicted to ME oil need to learn to deal with it.

    Freedom in the sense that they have rid themselves of someone whom they perceived as a tyrant -- not freedom in the more absolute sense [if there is such a thing].
