do you would choose freedom a long way from cameron's insistence they could definitely be put on trial and t.c. fighters were even dissuaded from their shoot to kill policy agreeing in august they'll take him alive i don't think it is a god particularly for trial. in any case but i mean nevertheless the what is basically i guess a kind of summary execution of what may well have been a summary execution is a kind of fairly barbaric into what i believe was a very proper operation from the start and there's a saying you know this was not this was never supposed to be about regime change this nato operation but that's that's really what's been the outcome of it the backslapping has been fueled by this gruesome footage of good that he's body splashed across headlines pleaded for world and the people power is not going to be put back here in libya thanks to the u.s. and its nato allies this video shows gadaffi was still alive when captured clearly

to get daffy the vultures it's a quick minutes. nato is now expected to declare an end to its bombing campaign in libya it was aimed at protecting civilians but critics say the alliance orchestrated the operation to capture it often wanted him dead rather than in court many libyans are celebrating the death of a dictator and western leaders hellinger transition to democracy but the start he's got a cheeky on reports from washington that may not be inevitable. hillary clinton on a surprise visit. a day before the killing of the ousted leader you need or where she was quoted as saying the u.s. hopes to see khadafi killed or captured soon be captured scenario might have put could up in the toppled egyptian leaders troops or those of iraq's saddam hussein but a trial over colonel gadhafi would have no doubt skeered even more controversy to testify that he was very convenient short of big european powers for the u.s.
1:05 am
if you went to the hague you would spill the beans about older dirty deals there are to stuff a real politics between the west in a developing country like libya nobody wanted back levy and transitional government officials say colonel gadhafi was cornered in a drain underneath the road in open countryside near the city of sirte please don't shoot was allegedly heard at the site many point out similarities to the capture of saddam hussein he was discovered in a small underground hole concealed next to farm buildings near his own hometown but unlike sadam who was captured alive by u.s. forces colonel qadhafi was reportedly shot dead by lead in transitional authorities not without the help of the u.s. and american defense official claimed a u.s. predator drone along with a french fighter jet hit could avi's convoy thursday morning as they were trying to escape effectively handing them over to the lead in forces on the ground but there
1:06 am
are still unanswered questions about what happened to the colonel qadhafi how was he killed all the big guy but clearly i think what a lot for external intervention and all of nato. rebels in benghazi. and able to achieve their objective nato's the u.n. mandate was to protect lead in civilians but it quickly became to get rid of gadhafi and prop up a government which is now in power only thanks to the support. the allied forces and i think we'll see. not a new democracy in libya but a new reorganization of the libyan political and economic institutions for the benefit of those who brought the national transition council to power it will be for the benefit of the united states oil companies for the benefit of the british and the french are perhaps the italian oil companies are the big winners here even meantime western leaders are celebrating league is transition to democracy without
