Two to dome where are human rights/ anti-torture folks at? I guess Human Rights are only applicable to Westerners.

In a cellphone video that went viral on the Internet, the deposed Libyan leader is seen splayed on the hood of a truck and then stumbling amid a frenzied crowd, seemingly begging for mercy. He is next seen on the ground, with fighters grabbing his hair. Blood pours down his head, drenching his golden brown khakis, as the crowd shouts, “God is great!”

Colonel Qaddafi’s body was shown in later photographs, with bullet holes apparently fired into his head at what forensic experts said was close range, raising the possibility that he was executed at the hands of anti-Qaddafi fighters.

The official version of events offered by Libya’s new leaders — that Colonel Qaddafi was killed in a cross-fire — was not supported by the photographs and videos that streamed over the Internet all day long, raising questions about the government’s control of the militias in a country that has been divided into competing regions and factions.

I have news for you...you don't care either, though you'll pretend that you do.

How does one honestly answer a question whose underlying premise is so filled with factual distortions, misrepresentations of fact and is an otherwise unintelligible mugging of coherency?

A Nobel Peace Prize winner to boot!
The term "rule of law " has no meaning to the monster in the oval office.
Obama has a pretty good body count going on. The grey hair suggests it is eating his insides out (as it should).

That would depend upon which head of stae and what he has done to us.
In fact I think if a few more heads of state were targeted they might think twice before ordering nastey things done to others.
For example after we bombed Quadaffi's tent he cut the crap. Well in regard to targeting US citizens.
I really believe if these so called heads of state had a personal stake in the game they would rethink a lot of what they order done.

I don't mind, but I didn't mind when Saddam was toppled either.

With our liberal friends, outrage depends on the letter after the President's name. So we won't be hearing much about this from them. Obama is "their guy" and he has a "D" after his name, so he can do no wrong.

Obama better keep looking over his shoulder.

Cause I know if a drone attack killed some of my innocent family members and friends, I'd be looking for payback.

Well, I know the LEFT used to hate that kind of stuff....when republicans were in the White House....but now they celebrate the invasion of a sovereign muslim country to interfere in a civil war, that costs a billion dollars, without authority from congress.....yea, they used to just froth at the mouth about crap like that.

There are a FEW honest leftists on here that oppose what he has done, just as they opposed Bush and that's fine and dandy. It's the ones that cheer lead assassinations and invasion NOW when they opposed it THEN that is the height of hypocrisy.
