The BBC actually posted this: Muammar Gaddafi’s death: NTC commander speaksThe commander of forces who captured Muammar Gaddafi has given details of the Libyan ex-leader’s last moments. Omran al-Oweib told the BBC that the injured colonel was dragged from a drainage pipe where he was hiding in Sirte, took 10 steps and collapsed amid gunfire on Thursday. He said it was impossible to tell who had fired the fatal bullet.Meanwhile
Hillary Clinton on Qaddafi: We came, we saw, he died Imperial hubris at its worst: Hillary tries to sound like some new Julius Cesar.
The following are reportedly Gaddafi’s last words: “What you’re doing is wrong, guys. What you’re doing is wrong. Do you know what is right or wrong? What are you doing? It’s haraam [forbidden]. It’s not allowed in Islamic law. Haraam. What you are doing is forbidden in Islam!” I am not a Muslim myself, and I am therefore not qualified to judge what is, or is not, forbidden in Islam.

I just saw a video on Russia Today showing Gaddafi still alive, covered in blood, and lynched by a rabid mob screaming Allahu Akbar! This is revolting beyond words! As I always say, there is no peace possible between civilized mankind (I do not include NATO member states in that category, by the way) and the Wahabi crazies. Dubya was right. It really is “us or them”. How sad. The
The news came in this morning that Muammar Gaddafi was captured alive but wounded in both legs. Later, this was corrected and we were told that he also had a head-wound (which was not noticed the first time around?) and that he had been killed. I guess killing him on the spot was easier than poisoning him in The Hague. Also, killing him as a wounded prisoner is probably less
Analysis by Gareth Porter for IPS News Officials of the Barack Obama administration have aggressively leaked information supposedly based on classified intelligence in recent days to bolster its allegation that two higher- ranking officials from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were involved in a plot to assassinate Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir in Washington, D.C. The media stories generated by the leaks helped divert press attention from the fact that there
Dear friends, I am leaving tonight to take a few days off and spend some time in the Florida Keys with my family snorkeling and free diving (mostly in the waters of Key Largo & Marathon). God willing, we should be back on Tuesday evening (US EST; UTC -5). I will have my cellphone and N800 Internet Tablet with me, but I really don’t want to take a laptop. Of
by Ahmed Amr for Dissident Voice The thrill is gone, the euphoria has faded and our mass delusions have been swept away to make room for the reality that there never was an Egyptian revolution. Eight months after deposing the old despot, Egypt is now in the firm grip of a new and improved military dictatorship – the Supreme Counsel of the Armed Forces. Any lingering doubt about the intentions
This is not exactly ‘news’. In fact, this info has been well-known to anybody who had made the effort to understand the truth about the wars in Chechnia. Nonetheless, I recently came across this video of Sibel Edmonds interviewed by James Corbett for Global Research TV and I decided to share it with you: (You can see the full interview here) Anyway, at a time when Uncle Shmuel is busy
Stratfor has just published a shot review of the allegations. It concluded with the following words: Iran has been known to carry out preoperational surveillance in the United States, but it has not yet used this intelligence to carry out a high-profile attack. It seems unusual that the Iranians would approach a Mexican cartel to carry out the assassination when the Iranians probably have the capability themselves. However, it could
According to the NYT: The alleged plot also included plans to pay the cartel, Los Zetas, to bomb the Israeli Embassy in Washington and the Saudi and Israeli Embassies in Argentina, according to a law enforcement official. I was wondering how long it would take for the word “Israel” to appear in this tale – well, here it is. And, for good measure, let’s throw in Argentina, just in case
I just came home and found this idiocy staring at me from the BBC’s website: Iran agents ‘planned US terror attacks’ First, quick calendar check: is it April 1st? Nope. Crap. I was hoping this was a lame joke. Okay then, let’s take a look at the latest idiocy conjured up by the Ziocon propaganda machine. According to this story, the Iranians have been caught trying to kill the KSA
Medvedev and Putin have recently announced that they would trade places: Putin will run for President and Medvedev will be his Prime Minister. This was not exactly a stunning surprise, though some speculated that Medvedev and Putin were in reality more competitors than friends. In fact, their warm smiles and mutual backslapping proves nothing. For all we know, they could be the biggest friends on the planet or they could

The choice of US ambassadors to Central Asia and the Middle East gives one pause for thought, says Eric Walberg The 711 coalition deaths in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan last year made 2010 the deadliest one for foreign troops since the US invasion in 2001, continuing the upward trend since 2003. 2011 promises to be even more deadly, and already includes the most spectacular event in this gruesome
Great news: China and Russia veto UN resolution condemning Syria. God knows I am no more a fan of Assad than I am of Gaddafi, but there is no doubt in my mind that the worst possible solution would be a repetition of what happened in Libya, but this time in Syria. Furthermore, China and Russia are also sending a message to the US and its European “pack of poodles”
