Is not our press lowering themselves to the level of these Libyan savages, by publishing these disgusting pictures?
What Pandora's box has been opened now, can anyone imagine these gun wielding thugs settling down and forming a stable and democratic government?
One couldn't even imagine them handing in their weapons and donning business suits.

I don't think the "gun wielding thugs" who shot Gaddafi will be forming any sort of government.
Are they so different from the US navy seals who killed Osama Bin Laden. I should say that I have every admiration for the Seals and don't condemn what they did, but when it comes down to it, in each case a man responsible for bloody crimes was hunted down and killed.
It's a pity in many ways that Gaddafi was killed, but hardly a great shock.

<<Libyan savages - disgusting pictures - gun wielding thugs >>
How else does anyone imagine people killing other people is going to be?
I've seen a bit and in every case it was a dirty, smelly, <savage> business that had a profound effect on everyone around especially those doing the killing.
It may be different sitting in a cockpit a few thousand feet up or in a Drone control centre in Louisiana pressing a button that will drop ordnance on a town or group of people, but when you're up close and personal these pictures show the truth of it.
And if these are savages - our government helped them do this in our name - so get over it and leave the prissy sensitivities and namby pamby outrage out of it.

/// Are they so different from the US navy seals who killed Osama Bin Laden ///
Yes completely different, because Bin Laden was killed in a firefight.

/// Bin Laden resisted the attackers and was killed along with three other men in a firefight. The operation lasted 40 minutes.///
Unlike Gaddafi who was cornered, wounded and terrified and although pleading for his life was finally shot.
Then they dragged his body through the streets, and struck his dead body with shoes, apparently the ultimate insult in these medieval cultured countries.

I think they would claim public interest (not interest of the public)
That people deserve to be able to see the evidence of his death.
There is precidence - I'm thinking of the pictures of Che Guavara's corpse and Mussolini.
Im not necessarilly agreeing - but I think there is at least an arguable case

I know you like to be economical with the truth but that is brazen - Bin Laden was also executed whilst unarmed by the US Seals.
That is the official US report and is in line with any operation of that sort.
<Initial US accounts of the mission said that before he was killed he had exchanged fire with the commandos while using his wife as a human shield. US officials have now told the Associated Press news agency that after the Seals rushed into the room, they found two women in front of Bin Laden, screaming and trying to protect him.
One of the soldiers pushed the women aside, the Seal behind him fired at Bin Laden, hitting him in the head and chest killing him instantly.
As they began photographing his body, an AK-47 and a Russian-made Makarov pistol were discovered in the room, but Bin Laden had not touched them.
The White House has corrected the version of events about the death of Osama Bin Laden. Reports suggested that Bin Laden's wife, believed to be 29-year-old Amal al-Ahmed Sadah, was in the room with him and was shot in the leg when she lunged at the soldiers. Pakistani police say that the couple's 12-year-old daughter was also in the room and witnessed Bin Laden's death. >

I personally don't want to see someone's dead body, call me over-sensitive or whatever, I really don't like that. The fact that it's emblazened over pretty much every front page in the country doesn't give me much choice.
Yeah maybe we deserve the right to see for sure that he is dead, but that should be an option, not something thrust in our faces.

How dare you call me a liar, accuse the Guardian of being economical with the truth if you must, because if you had took the trouble to read their report you would not have failed to notice that it was from this that I gained my information from.
Unless you had been there yourself, how can you possibly say (since they both are of the 'Left' persuasion) that your BBC link is any more accurate than my Guardian one?
I think in this case it is you, not I that is being 'economical with the truth'
