7. NBC is reporting him captured and wounded.
However, they're saying that he might have been killed. They don't know for sure.

He didn't want to make the choice;)

13. Not really...."Dead Men Tell No Tales"....and Hillary said, captured or killed...
Edited on Thu Oct-20-11 07:13 AM by KoKo
last time that phrase was used there was no trial. And...the time before.

And....there's always the "Man who Knew too Much" factor to be considered.

25. Dude--
You're one of my Fav's here on DU---and I don't think I've ever disagreed with you...until now.

If the guy is dead---then good. What he did to his people was close to genocide.

Worm dirt---poor worms.

38. Please give me the number of Libyans bombed out of their homes
for the West to steal Libyan oil. Gaddafi was the Western imperialists favorite son until recently.

19. Sounds like it was info-lag. Gaddafi found, shot, died on the way to the hospital.
Local Libyan media was reporting his death before the rest of the media reported it, it was lagged big time.

21. Maybe he bled out, or died of shock or maybe reports are bad
Early reporting is always confused

22. There are vital arteries in the legs. He probably bled out.
There was no way they could stop it. He was reported to have been taken away in an ambulance. Libyan doctors are well trained and well practiced. I'm sure they did all they could to try and save his life. He went down fighting.

35. Leaders of the NTC are clean, they had to align with Younis for pragmatic reasons.
He held respect with fighters, but it was only a matter of time.

41. Ok. Wake up.
It might have been from celebratory gunfire. Or he had his Ceaușescu moment. Turns out his beebul didn't love him.
