Libya's interim rulers declared the country liberated on Sunday after an 8-month civil war, launching the oil-rich nation on what is meant to be a two-year transition to democracy. But they laid out plans with an Islamist tone that could rattle their Western backers.

The joyful ceremony formally marking the end of Moammar Gadhafi's 42-year tyranny was also clouded by mounting pressure from the leaders of the NATO campaign that helped secure victory to investigate whether Mr. Gadhafi, dragged wounded but alive out of a drainage ditch last week, was then executed by his captors.

The circumstances of Mr. Gadhafi's death remain unclear. In separate accounts late Sunday, two Libyan fighters said Mr. Gadhafi was hurt after being captured, but was able to stand. One said that when he and others placed Mr. Gadhafi in an ambulance, the former Libyan leader had not yet suffered what Libya's chief pathologist said was a fatal gunshot to the head.

Critics said the gruesome spectacle of his blood-streaked body laid out as a trophy for a third day of public viewing in a commercial freezer tests the new leadership's commitment to the rule of law.

2. Does the public really have a short memory ?

It seems to me there was a 0ne million dollar reward out on Gadhafi dead or alive.
There were no restrictions.
That means deliver the body. I think the international community missed the boat on this one like they did on the so called relief shipment to Gaza. The ship with the terrorist on board that took it over using hand made knives and clubs.Oh but that was a peace mission wasn't it.

3. It's called protecting your ass.

Just the facts ma'am and I am sure they are already prepared for the blind.
