Muammar Gaddafi's 'trophy' body on show in Misrata meat store
Libyans queue to see dictator's body as wounds appear to confirm he was killed in cold blood

Bloodied, wearing just a pair of khaki trousers, and dumped on a cheap mattress, Muammar Gaddafi's body has become a gruesome tourist attraction and a macabre symbol of the new Libya's problems.

Hundreds of ordinary Libyans queued up outside a refrigerated meat store in Misrata, where the dead dictator was being stored as a trophy. A guard allowed small groups into the room to celebrate next to Gaddafi's body. They posed for photos, flashing victory signs, and burst into jubilant cries of "God is great."

Wounds on Gaddafi's body appeared to confirm that he was indeed killed in cold blood in the chaotic minutes following his capture on Thursday. He was found in the town of Sirte, hiding in a drainage pipe. There was a close-range bullet wound on the left side of his head. Blood stains showed another bullet wound to his thorax. His body, subsequently driven to Misrata and publicly paraded, was barefoot and stripped to the waist.

This display came amid a row inside the Transitional National Council (NTC) over what to do with Gaddafi's body. Libya's interim prime minister, Mahmoud Jibril, arrived in Misrata to talk with local NTC representatives. They have made it abundantly clear they do not want Gaddafi to be buried in their town. The NTC leadership in Tripoli wants a solution quickly. One popular option is to bury him at sea, as Osama bin Laden was.

What happened to that bevy of female(virgin) bodyguards he had? Guess they saw the hand writing on the wall and figured it was time to go get some dates. (and I don’t mean the kind that grow on trees.)

I agree with you that the barbarism on display is cause for concern. A greater cause for concern is Hillary Clintons frivolity during an interview on network news when she laughing said, "We came, we saw, he died!", then fiendishly, sardonically broke into laughter.

Like an earlierl freeper said, "The death of a man may be necessary but is never a cause for joy."

But, to quote Babu on Seinfeld, "He was a bedi, bedi bad man. A bedi bad man."

Well Moammar used to call Condi Rice his “African Princess”

He probably called Clinton his “Chicago Hildabeast”

no wonder Hillary had a grudge, LOL

“He was a bedi, bedi bad man. A bedi bad man.”

Hopefully the new boss won’t be worse.

Wow...a lot of posts to go through before I see one I agree with. Flame you? No.

My first thought at reading the headline was:

“What’s wrong with these animals?”

A “trophy,” body?

I think the jokes, chuckles and such are because they don’t know what else to do or say, in the face of such barbarism.

You know, that 0bama tolerated that fly told me that he is evil, had had that happen lots of times as a child, or both.

I admit to being bothered about Qaddafi’s last words, “Do you know right from wrong?”

Hillary is really creeping me out lately.

She was also uncivil when video was shown of her mocking hermann cain while sitting in a meeting with the Afghan leader-Karsi ( <-sp-no doubt). It freaked me out-she was laughing about him being a pizza king. She is incredibly socially inept and kind of scarily shallow

Your very charitable comment may well be correct.

The mohammedans behave like savages because their so-called religion does not recognize the sacredness of each human life.

Way too many pigs in this world. And to hear yesterday on the news that the White House was “hip hip horraying” about it?

Disgusting.
