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.

What authority does the ICC have?
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.

ICC says Muammar Gaddafi killing may be war crime
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?

If you do it by skinning him instead of emptying his pockets, I would say yes.

Not that I cry for Gaddafi, to simply kill him probably was the most elegant solution, instead of giving him a media platform at court, and wasting a lot of money and time and effort and distracting the discussion and relativiisng his deeds. After all he was a mass murderer, torturer and blood-dripping terrorist. But if the rumours are right about how they killed him, then I have a problem with the bastards having done that and would not mind to blow them to pieces as well.

Sick is sick.

Mussolini was a victim of war crimes as well then.
