ICC says Muammar Gaddafi killing may be war crime

[Jimbuna]

Never really thought about this but looking back at the final piece if video footage certainly gives one food for thought

The death of Libya's former leader Muammar Gaddafi "creates suspicions" of war crimes, says the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo said the ICC was raising the concern with Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC).

French sources and a German-French journalist claim Gaddafi got impaled with an iron rod.

Being determined or not forgiving a crime, is on thing. Cruelty for the sake of being cruel, is another one, no matter what the deliquent has done.

Originally, the way it was done in past times, impaling can be counted to some of the most cruel and inhumane things humans can do to other humans.

How many divisions does the ICC have?

Lybia's NTC have promised to allow ICC to investigate and prosecute the war crimes cases in Lybia, including those Gaddafi was sought for in the first place.

And I like your implication that military strength has anything to do with determination of cruelty or justice.

I also like the ICC's implication, of course, that war is somehow not a dirty business to begin with; so I hope this claim doesn't draw attention to the wrong things.

He was captured and then killed by a mob, seems to fit the bil for war crimes doesn't it.
Probably why they tried to claim he died in a gun battle until the videos emerged.

It may very well be a war crime, but how do you prosecute a mob of irregulars?
