GlobalPost: Qaddafi apparently sodomized after capture


Amid mounting questions about just how and when Muammar Qaddafi died, a GlobalPost analysis of video footage suggests a Libyan fighter sodomized the former dictator after he was captured near Sirte.

As GlobalPost reports:

A frame by frame analysis of this exclusive GlobalPost video clearly shows the rebel trying to insert some kind of stick or knife into Gaddafi's rear end.

GlobalPost correspondent Tracey Shelton said there is some question as to whether the instrument was a knife from the end of a gun, which Libyans call a Bicketti, or a utilitiy tool known as a Becker Knife and Tool, which is popularly known as a BKT.

This latest video discovery comes as international and human rights groups call for a formal investigation into how the former Libyan leader was killed. In video clips that have emerged of his capture, Gaddafi can be seen injured but alive. Later he is seen with what appears to be gunshot wounds to his head and chest. According to the Geneva Conventions, however, abuse of prisoners under any circumstance is not permissable.

My god.

[BalmerLiberal]

1. If I believed in such a place...

...I would be sure much worse is happening to him in Hell.

[Arctic Dave]

2. If that is the case then the person doing it will join him.

As will probably people who cheer on such things.

[redwitch]

3. Yes.

How barbaric can we get? That's a rhetorical question of course, I am fairly certain there are no limits at all.

[No Elephants]

26. +1

[nolabear]

4. Insanity reigns.

I don't know who to root for anymore. I really don't.

[vets74]

40. Recall Lara Logan? "They raped me with their hands."

Fact is, these tribesmen and other no-education anti-moderns are among the lowest IQ people on planet earth. Every thing that threatens them gets converted to a sexual expression.

Balls for brains.

Where there's not much for brains, what else ???

Btw: thank Gawd the French got a government organized early on. That'll prevent mass slaughters, which you'd have to expect otherwise.

The 53 corpses in Misrata ? That's 100:1 fewer than you'd have seen 100 years ago with one of these turnovers.

[leftyladyfrommo]

5. This is awful - but it happens to women all the time in war.

Women are captured, raped and brutalized and killed.

Let's face it. War is just awful.

[bainz]

6. Exactly

It's time we rape everyone!

:sarcasm:

[Skittles]

37. talk about missing the point

:o

[formercia]

7. If people could see the brutal side of War

they would be hesitant to cheer it on.

[bigworld]

8. I think he was stuck -everywhere- with the knife

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

[No Elephants]

27. Does that apply to the ones who stuck him everywhere with the knife, too?

[Bragi]

44. Are you opposed to torture?

Just wondering if there is any level of barbarism you wouldn't dismiss by using simplistic axioms like "Live by the sword, die by the sword"?

[Celefin]

9. Ah, the good guys and their boy pranks.

Moral high ground and all that.

The son went to war, swearing to his father he would capture and bring back the monster.
As he came back broken and empty-handed, the father looked into his son's eyes and beheld that his son had kept his word.

[No Elephants]

28. So sad, but some just come back maimed and/or suffering from PSD.

Apparently, some are perfectly fine this kind of thing, as long as the side we backed are the perps.

Otherwise, it merits bombing and drones.

[emilyg]

10. Disgusting.

[killbotfactory]

11. Before Gaddafi waged a war on protesters, these were just average Libyans

These were a loosely trained, unprofessional army, who had been terrorized by war and other extreme repressive measures taken by Gaddafi for months. I don't know what everyone was expecting if they captured Gaddafi, but I didn't think it would be pretty or civilized.

[Fool Count]

15. If those are just "average Libyans", they certainly deserve all

the misery that is coming their way as a result of their stupidity and cruelty. Those who replaced Qaddafi should not be surprised
when those "average Libyans" go all 'Allah Akbar' on their asses next.

[killbotfactory]

21. Yeah, Arabs are animals who can't control themselves

That's why they needed the benign dictatorship of Gaddafi. You've seen through the matrix.

[Fool Count]

24. While I didn't say or mean that, the description you offer

is most certainly apt for the people depicted in those videos. I do not even know for sure if they were Arabs, though I assume they are.
That was not my suggestion (but that of the poster I responded to) that the lynch mob of deranged murderers captured by the video
represented the "average Libyans". I surely hope they do not. If, in fact, they do, then I must indeed commend Qaddafi on doing great
job of keeping them in check for 42 years in such a benign way and wish he could continue doing so for many more years. However,
I would suggest that, more likely, the people I saw are not "average Libyans" at all, but a band of sociopathic violent thugs - a type of
human (and I use that term loosely) garbage which is typically brought to the surface by conflicts like this one and which in normal
times would be populating criminal correction facilities in any country. Whether it was Qaddafi's bad luck to be taken in by such
a splendid group of individuals or the whole body of the Libyan "rebel" movement is homogeneous in this way and Qaddafi's destiny
was sealed, I have no idea. I just hope, for the sake of real average Libyans, it is the former.

[Celefin]

34. Well said. I don't get how you can cheer for people like this, no matter which side they're on. -nt-

[killbotfactory]

51. Normal people, when put under extreme circumstances, can do horrible extreme things

42 years of repression plus a brutal revolutionary war being one of them.

I have sympathy for people who have suffered severely mindlessly lashing out against the people who made them suffer.

I have no sympathy for people who made them suffer as a matter of policy while living lives of complete luxury and indulgence meeting the same brutal fate they ordered upon thousands of people.

You worry about the future of Libya, because of this incident, when the past of Libya was 42 years of state-sanctioned torture, murder, rape, and terrorism?

[No Elephants]

29. Mega straw man.

[bluebuzzard]

12. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DXDU48RHLU&feature=feedrec_grec_index

[EFerrari]

13. So disgusting. And the day before he was killed

she called for his killing on her visit to Tripoli.

That's our top diplomat. USA!

[B2G]

14. Well that certainly doesn't seem like an appropriate response

from the US government. Had I not seen it, I wouldn't have believed it.

[Prometheus Bound]

19. I still don't believe it.

It's got to be fake.

It's just too over-the-top sicko.

And that goes for the giggling interviewer too.

[karynnj]

43. I considered that too - thinking if it were not fake, it might have gotten more play

But, it is just HRC's response and it looks and sounds like her. It is possible that the context of the earlier or later comments would make it better. (It could be that no one benefits by showing this in the US - if the RW would basically agree, none of the RW sources would use it.)

[octothorpe]

35. I wouldn't have believed that either...

Hopefully it was taken out of context and not even related to Qaddafi.

[walerosco]

16. disgusting

[karynnj]

42. Not her best moment

I think she was trying to make a witty, clever comment and really went off the tracks. I wish I would not have seen this. It is one thing for people to have commented on the death as the point where Libya really does start a new chapter. It is also wise to say that it is the Libyans who will decide what follows - and that it won't be our choice. (The alternative that we have any control is far worse.)

[ixion]

17. Humans are a f**ked up species...

seriously.

[Muskypundit]

18. I am not a fan of eye for an eye

But why does gaddafi get his own thread for prisoner abuse, when the thousands he ordered the same and worse done to didn't.

I shed no tears for the Hitlers of our era.

I do shed tears for the loss of humanity it took to go to his level though. That is the tragedy, not that gaddaffi was tortured and killed.

[cyberpj]

20. Well said. nt

[Celefin]

38. Tony Blair, is that you?

When Bush visited London he drew enormous protests.

The government was totally taken aback by this:

"Why didn't they protest Saddam while he was committing all those crimes and human rights abuses?"

Yes why?

Because he didn't visit and it wasn't in the news. That's why.
They would have turned out in the tens of thousands if that bastard had been received in Westminster.

You honestly think people would NOT have cared about Gaddafi's atrocities if they had been in the news every evening?
Seriously? People would have been happy for us to trade with him despite the nightmares televised every evening?

If you wanted to protest every bastard and his evil doings in the world all the time you would have more on your hands then you could ever handle.
The argument of 'why didn't you protest this or that' is unfair in the extreme. It's a Teflon Tony argument.

You should NOT shed tears for an evil fuck like Gaddafi and you should STOP accusing others here of doing that.
You SHOULD shed tears for those who had the chance of being heroes to stoop to the same deranged level as the one they disposed of.
That is the tragedy that all those 'Gaddafi apologists' here like me get worked up about.
Is that so hard to understand?

/rant

[Bragi]

45. +++1

[Ter]

22. He was an old man who surrendered

His "liberators" are pure evil, what they did to a defenseless poor old man was disgusting.

[No Elephants]

30. "He could have avoided this by surrendering" only works when the person did not surrender.

When the person does surrender, we apparently just come up with new reasons to be okay with this kind of thing.

Yet we opposed death by lethal injection in the U.S.

[Azathoth]

53. self-delete

[madokie]

23. I feel no pity for him at all

He was a pretty sorry sob for years by anyone measure. if this really happened then he got what was coming. he'd done much worse things to many people during his reign so fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

[No Elephants]

31. It's not about pity. It's about sinking to the same level.

Also about not being more barbaric than animals, then claiming to be the good guys doing "justice."

[Skittles]

36. CORRECT

[Celefin]

39. +1000. Also see reply #38 -nt-

[madokie]

41. What ever I think that is for the people who he suppressed for so long to decide

not some dude or gal on the intertubes. I'm sure they seen it as justice done.

[Azathoth]

52. "Justice" assumes a whole new meaning when you've lived for decades under a brutal dictator

and you've watched friends and even family members harassed, brutalized, and murdered by his "security" forces.

[ButterflyBlood]

25. This ranks somewhere in the thousands in regards to things I care about in Libya

All the innocent people murdered by Gaddafi's goons rank far higher than anything that happened to that old sack of shit.

[No Elephants]

32. Well, as long as it's not high on your list, I'm comfortable with it.

As long as we are not going to stand on principle, how high something is on your list is as good a criterion as any other, I suppose.

[DCBob]

33. I watched the entire video and could not see anything like that.

The video is horrible... it jumps all over the place and out of focus and mostly cant at all tell what is going on. I wouldnt make any judgments from a video like this. That being said it would not surprise me a bit that it happened.. they were like a frenzied lynch mob.. humans do crazy evil things in a situation like that and it means nothing more than that in the grand scheme of things.

[expatriate2mex]

49. I watched it twice Bob and don't see anything like that either.nt

[Katashi_itto]

46. Today Libya..tomorrow Wall St.

Watch how bad things get here. After the system finally collapses.

[DerBeppo]

47. War changes people

Sometimes temporarily, sometimes for life. The person who did this will, hopefully, one day live in a Libya that isn't under a constant threat of death and destruction and have to come to terms with the actions he took.

[expatriate2mex]

48. I think it's more than obvious they killed him after capturing him, but

I have no idea how someone could watch that clip and get him being sodomized from it. I watched it twice and could not find anything at all like that.

[Throd]

50. Administering a boofoo to the pooter with a bayonet is certainly inartful.

I wouldn't have done it myself, but I understand.

[TK421]

54. I'm just trying to get the image of Qaddafi's ass out of my mind!
