    Gadhafi was captured wounded, but alive Thursday in his hometown of Sirte. Bloody images of Gadhafi being taunted and beaten by his captors have raised questions about whether he was killed in crossfire, as suggested by government officials, or was executed.

    Clinton tells NBC’s “Meet the Press” that she backs a proposal that the United Nations investigate Gadhafi’s death and that Libya’s Transitional National Council look into the circumstances, too.

    Clinton says a democratic Libya should begin with the rule of law and accountability, as well as unity and reconciliation. She says investigating Gadhafi’s death is part of the process.

    A typical government response. If this was science, it might actually make sense. In reality, the creep is dead, Libya moves into another phase of what should be democracy, and Gadafi’s story is over. Meanwhile, United States is funding the UN to do what? Study the death circumstances about something that is now irrelevant? Great use of US tax dollars. No worry, just find somewhere to hike taxes on our citizens. The logic of this is unbelievable. As for me, the guy got the bullets he deserved. Get rid of the body, and turn the page.

    Dear Number 4: Why is it too graphic? Did not the RBS”O have the ocean spit out the Mitzreeim after kriyas yam suf, so that the jews should see how they were all daed on the edge of the ocean? Nothing wrong with seeing a tyrant murderer in the place and position that he belongs!

    You gotta love western politicians. “We wanted him dead but we didn’t want you to actually kill him. It didn’t have to be so ugly.” Get over it, death is ugly and this guy deserved a lot worse than he got. Thank you Hashem for showing your infinite justice in this world.

    And what about the death of Bin Ladin? Why wouldn’t she investigate that as well?
    What a hypocrit.
    I congradulate the lybian freedom fighters and hope they can get back to normal after this monster is gone. Gaddafi got what he deserved and unlike Sadam he was treated the way it should be.

    Hey hypocryte. How come you didn’t want an investighation when Bin Ladin was murdered by the Americans? They easily could have caught him and brought back alive. It was a prior decision not to do so. But now to ask for an investigation to look holy, is a farce and a fraud.

    Such disgusting hypocrisy. And coming from the country that has assassinated more political enemies than any other. That was what the CIA was cerated to do, and still does. Have they already forgotten Bin Laden? At least they should have the decency to remain quiet.

    Let’s call for a new investigation into Vince Foster’s death.

    Of course she agres you can kill ghadaffi, but it has to be in a gunfight or after a fair trial. I think that makes perfect sense.

    Congrats to Obama on the job well done. Who would have thought he would turn out to be such an excellent killer? Usama, Awlaki (and what was the name of another “American” accompanying him?), now Muamar. And there scores of other muslims killed by drones, and other means, every week. I have to give Obama credit where credit is certainly due, he is an excellent assassin.

    Excuse me but when our infidel nation had the dead body of Osama we were told by Muslim scholars that Islamic law required a quick burial. At this time, Libyan Muslim savages have the dead body of Moammar the Daffy. Why aren’t they rushing to give the mess the respect that any believer’s body deserves?

    They should have strung him up in the streets like Mussolini.Good riddens!
