I think it is funny that his body is (or was) being stored in the freezer section of a local grocery store. I guess those 76 virgins can get mighty hungry and he was stocking up on Bagels and Locks.

Gaddafi was great and did many huge tnigs for his people and died like a hero. It's tragedy for whole world and mean that nobody can get own freedom if he have oil. TV and newspapers lies.

...HRW discovered a letter, written in 2004 by the head of MI6's anti-terrorism division, Mark Allen, to Moussa Koussa, head of the Libyan intelligence service, welcoming news of the 'safe' arrival in Tripoli of anti-Gaddafi activist Abdelhakim Belhadj, who had been kidnapped in Malaysia by the CIA, on the basis of intelligence supplied by MI6, and 'rendered' to the Libyans for torture...
