Haliburton said that "Libyan operations are expected to make a positive contribution in 2112" - BBC

(SALEM, Ore.) - Problems associated with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi were no big deal until recently; take a step back and look at Libya's past, examine the character of one of Gaddafi's heroes, then decide if western military forces belong there. It was reported tonight that Gaddafi's body is still being paraded around Libya by the rebels at this time.

We had video of the brutalizing of Col. Gaddafi published very early; gunshots are heard, and then the camera shows the national leader's lifeless body.

NATO ADMITS to Killing Babies in Tripoli Sunday

We have reported many civilian deaths as a result of the NATO air raids.

(TRIPOLI) - NATO admits that nine civilians were killed in an air strike Sunday on Tripoli and two babies were among nine victims counted so far. NATO has admitted that civilians were killed in an air strike on a Tripoli suburb on Sunday. Gaddafi officials say two babies were among the nine dead.

As Russian TV reports, this is the first time the Alliance has conceded responsibility for civilian deaths, although Libya's Health Ministry claims more than 800 people have died in three months of air attacks.

Libyan Confessed to Killing Gaddafi

A young Libyan fighter claimed in a video posted on the internet overnight that he had captured Libya’s deposed leader Muammar Gaddafi and shot him twice, fatally wounding him.

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - The claim, made by a youth from Benghazi identified as Sanad al-Sadek al-Ureibi, added fuel to growing speculation over how Gaddafi died on Thursday.

It also seemingly contradicted claims by Libya’s ruling National Transitional Council that Gaddafi was shot in the head when he was caught “in crossfire” between his supporters and new regime fighters soon after his capture.

Colonel Gaddafi Captured and Killed

An article by 'Human rights investigations' (HRI) Colonel Gaddafi captured and killed.

(ROME) - Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi was reportedly captured and shot dead 20 October. As the evidence below shows the Libyan leader and his son Mutassim were summarily executed by the rebels, sharing the fate of so many Libyans in this conflict.

NATO have said that a French jet bombed 2 military vehicles in a convoy leaving the area of Sirte at 8.30 am local time. Other reports from the USA suggest a predator drone was involved. In addition, “Sky sources” claim that the RAF was involved in seriously injuring Saif al-Islam, also in Sirte.

The Strange Tale of Why Libya is Broke

Max Kaiser Talks About Gaddafi’s Strange Bedfellows

(CINCINNATI) - First, I want to thank financial reporter Max Kaiser for his strong words on Financial Terrorism. According to Kaiser, assassination orders are out on former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and the heads of key financial institutions, placed there by the new government of Libya.

However, the the process of what I see as an excellent presentation of many of the facts, Kaiser does avoid one or two “third rail” issues.

Gaddafi killing and white flag case `similar`

A rebel fighter told the BBC he found the former Libyan leader hiding in a drainage pipe and he had begged him not to shoot.

(COLOMBO) - There seems to be similarities between the killing of former Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi and Sri Lanka’s ‘white flag case’, says Human Rights Watch (HRW).

Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril said Col Gaddafi had been shot in the head in an exchange of fire between Gaddafi loyalists and NTC fighters following his capture in his hometown of Sirte.

Targeted for assassination by NATO?

Will Saif al-Islam Qaddafi survive to have his day in court?

(BEIRUT, Lebanon ) - During the late evening of 10/20/11 the White House, the Office of the Secretary of State, the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Libyan Embassy in Washington, DC received a faxed communication from an American organized international legal team currently preparing their departure to Libya.

The international lawyers, whose assistance has been arranged through Gadhafi family members and friends, have accepted the obligation to represent Saif al Islam against charges filed by the International Criminal Court on June 26, 2011 and to represent him in any and all legal proceedings that the NTC government may bring against him in Libya.

Gaddafi Story Ended With a Whimper

Gaddafi liked to be referred to as “Brother Leader” but actually he has never been a brother nor a leader to his fellow Libyan citizens.

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - Regardless of the ambiguity that shrouded the eruption of the Libyan popular uprising, regardless of the various conspiracy theories that tried – and still are –to somehow find a hidden foreign agenda behind this armed revolution, regardless of the many apologists for the Gaddafi’s regime who elaborated on his good deeds and achievements for the Libyans during the last four decades … one simple and utterly painful truth remains:

Muammar Gaddafi held nothing for the Libyan people but sheer contempt.

Video - Death of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi

He did not go out silently, and Gaddafi's last words to a fellow Libyan were, "What did I do to you?"

(SALEM, Ore.) - Thugs tortured and publicly brutalized the leader of Libya before killing him, in an absolutely show of barbarity committed in the name of the United States, NATO and western interests.

The ruler of Libya for more than 42 years, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is dead. He was tracked down to a drainage ditch and pulled out before being beaten and bloodied, and then executed with guns by 'rebel' fighters who have been working with NATO to bring an end to this Libyan leader's national rule.

No Tears for Warmonger Fox

Dangerous beliefs and connections to the political underworld made him unemployable as a British minister/

(LONDON) - Britain’s defence secretary Dr Liam Fox decided to jump rather than be thrown from the battlements.

While we wait – not holding our breath of course - for the Cabinet Secretary's final report on the peculiar relationship between Fox and his special friend Adam Werrity, it's worth checking what the Ministerial Code - the 'Bible' Fox failed to lived by - actually expected of him.
