Qaddafi Was Captured Alive—Who Killed Him?

October 21st, 2011

Via: The Atlantic:

What did happen to Qaddafi after the video above cut away? No one can seem to say for sure. Libyan interim Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril admitted late on Thursday that Qaddafi had been found alive but insisted he had been killed accidentally. “There was cross-fire and he was shot while they were carrying him to a truck,” Jibril said. It’s of course possible that this is accurate, but it’s difficult to imagine what crossfire there might have been. The above video showed dozens of rebels crowded around Qaddafi and no pro-Qaddafi troops in sight. How, exactly, do two bullets of “crossfire” happen to wiz their way through such a dense crowd and just happen to strike Qaddafi in the head and chest?

Jibril told NPR, “Nobody can tell if the shot was from the rebel fighters or from his own security guard.” By his own security guard? At least they’re not claiming suicide.

    Personally, I’d lay odds that the poor sucker being dragged to his certain demise was none other than one of the “stunt double” decoys political leaders have employed since time immemorial.

    Will the real Hussein/Qaddafi please stand up?

    You know, people are going to figure this one out after a while. When Americans take a political prisoner, they end up dead.

    Hussain? Captured, tried in an American military court, and executed.

    Shit, there was a risk he could have survived court. Lets rethink how we handle these prisoners.

    Bin Laden? Captured, executed.

    Quaddafi? Captured, executed.

    You know, if the US Gov’t wanted to take me as a political prisoner, I’d be running as far as possible from where they think I may be. I hear there are some remote places in Eastern Asia.
