What should happen to Libya’s Gadhafi if captured?
FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
Another day, another Middle East dictator on the verge of falling. Except no one can find him.
Libyan rebels have control of most of the capital city of Tripoli and they say they have three of Moammar Gadhafi's sons in custody.
But the main prize will be Col. Gadhafi, and it's unclear where exactly he is.
Some believe Gadhafi is hiding in Tripoli, while others think he's fled to a neighboring country like Chad or Algeria. The Pentagon says it believes Gadhafi is still in Libya.
If Gadhafi is captured alive – and that's a big if – the question will be what happens to the man who ruled Libya with an iron fist for more than four decades.
The International Criminal Court in The Hague has warrants for the arrests of Gadhafi and one of his sons, along with his brother-in-law, who also happens to be the head of military intelligence.
But it's yet to be seen if the Libyans will want to hand Gadhafi over to the International Criminal Court or administer their own brand of justice. My money is on the latter.
Look at Egypt: Former President Hosni Mubarak is standing trial for the crimes committed against his own citizens. It’s unusual for an Arab leader to be called to account by his own people.
There are surely millions of Libyans who would like to see Gadhafi brought to justice. Think Saddam Hussein. Since taking power in a 1969 coup, Gadhafi has destroyed any and all opposition, even sending hit squads to shoot down Libyans in exile. He called them "stray dogs."
Gadhafi has also been tied to some of the most notorious terrorist atrocities worldwide before the 9-11 attacks, including the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
Here’s my question to you: What should happen to Libya's Moammar Gadhafi if he's captured?
Tune in to the Situation Room at 5pm to see if Jack reads your answer on air.
And, we love to know where you’re writing from, so please include your city and state with your comment.

Allow the people of Libya to decide Moammar Gadhafi's fate once he is captured.
He should be tried as a war criminal like Sadam H. was and then if convicted–Hanged.
He should be tried for the crimes he has committed against his own people by the Libyan people just as Iraq tried, convicted and punished their former dictator.
Ever hear about what happened to our dear friend Ceaucescu?
I would say he should be mutilated and executed as he did to those who opposed him, but since I purport to be a Christian, that plan won't work. How about total isolation for the rest of his life?
That is up to the people of Libya to determine, not us Jack. The problem for Libya is going to be what happens after Gadhafi is gone not what to do with him. There will not be much of Libya left after NATO is done pounding it into the ground. The people will still have to have jobs and food and schools and an economy as well as infrastructure restored. Libya is a poor country Jack. Where is all this money for supplies and goods going to come from?
Believe it or not, he still has to be treated like a human being. Otherwise, people like the Syrian President and the other Middle East Leaders will not willingly consider stepping down from power when needed. Imagine, Gadhafi captured, then a scandal arises (like the Guantanomo Bay soldiers taking those foul pictures) showing that he is mistreated. As a result, many other leaders will begin to unneccesarily heighten their own security and thus escalate tensions in the already hostile Middle East.
since Gahdafi is the rightful ruler of LIbya he should be sent back to lead the country if captured. Why are we siding with the terrorists?
For almost voluntarily stepping down without killing more than a few thousand of his counrtymen, he deserves, just like our peaceful president, the Nobel Peace Prize.
He should have every bank account confiscated,then spend rest of life in prison..
I have no idea what should happen to him. I'm still trying to figure out why he wasn't picked up back in 2009 when he was in New York City for a meeting at the U.N. It would have been a whole lot easier and a whole lot cheaper and many, many lives could have been saved.
Place him in a locked room with the family members of Pan Am Flt 103.
He should be put on trial for war crimes.
Shoot him. It was good enough for bin Laden.
He should be strapped into a seat on an otherwise-unmanned 747, flown to an altitude of 40,000 feet over some desolate area where the plane would be remotely detonated. Then, for the remaining 11 minutes of his life, sprialing into the earth, he can contemplate everything henous that he has done to others. No black box needed.
Jack: Make an appoint for him to join Osama Bin Laden, Haddem Huseng and the thirty virgins!
Just as with Mubarek in Egypt, he should be tried by Libyan courts and dealt with in accordance with their justice system. It's okay to trust them to act appropriately – no need for UN, US, NATO or the Hague to get involved. It's okay, Jack. Relax!
Give him his own Broadway show. At least he's one of the more flamboyant dictators out there.
American Idol could sign him up as a judge, maybe like a revolving one to give us a break from the other three. He and Steven Tyler kind of favor each other in looks and dress, not a stretch by any means. Book 'em Dano.
With America financially broke, this country at 20% REAL unemployment, jobs a distant memory, and citizen confidence in our federal government at an all time low I think it's time we all say loud and clear.................."Who cares what happens with a lunatic despot half a world away"????
Enough heroics and nation building !!! It's high time we get our own house in order.
Hey Jack, has anyone thought now that Gadhafi is hopefully no longer in power, that maybe they can bring the Panam bomber back to England so he can live out his sentence, since he has already lived to long from his so called cancer...
He has to answer to the people of Libya. Let them decide his fate.
Drop him out of an airplane at 22,000 feet unto the Lockerbie Town Square.
His people should apply Libya's juctice – whatever that is. This is for the Libyans to decide – even though he's more than likely responsible in part in acts of terrorism. If they decide a world court should decide his fate, then so be it.
What defines the difference between Libyian rebels and G-20 rioters? Anarchy is Anarchy. Who's going to lead that country into the next phase? It's better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.
We should let the Libyan people decide that. However, if he goes into hiding, Obama should authorize the SEALs to 'read him his rights' just like they did to Bin Laden.
How about American's should just mind their business and leave Libya's only.........................wasn't it GOPers in Congress who said helping Libya become free wasn't Americas business? Please.
Not our call. In a perfect world, he'd be sent to rehab. More likely, he'll be hanged by whoever takes over.
How about letting the citizens of Lybia decide that. Not us.
He should be tried for crimes against humanity. It might make Al-Assad think.
tampa, fl why not put him on trial here in America, unlike Osama, whom our govt didn't want on trial as then all of those nasty, dirty secrets we have would have been exposed. with wacky kadafy it would make for some very interesting tv as he would sell out his own mother for a deal.
He should be given the Nobel Peace Prize for wrecking Libya. After all, Barack Obama got it for wrecking America.

Hopefully he'll cause problems and give the Rebels justification to kill him right on the spot. Otherwise he'll be tried for charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal court in the N
etherlands.
(Denver). He should have as fair a trial as possible. We cannot consistently accuse a man of human rights violations and then treat him as if we didn't believe in his own rights. Relatedly, this is also why bin Laden should not have been murdered. From the description of his demise, it seems clear he could have been captured and given a trial. From bin Laden to Casey Anthony to your question about Gadhafi this tension between our feelings about someone's guilt and following the principles of human rights keeps coming up. The rule "Innocent until PROVEN guilty" MUST remain, or we become exactly the monster we're so quick to judge: we become violaters of human rights in our very defense of this rights. Ghadafi should have a fair trial because he is human, and we grant him that essential dignity even when he has acted against dignity itself.
Trial by the world court to avoid the eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth philosophy that seems to prevail among many countries in the Muslim world. Free countries are not completely free of that either, because it's the expendient and personally satisfying way. Do it through impartial courts, don't perpetrate unending reciprocal revenge.
Gadhafi should to turned over to the International Criminal Court along with his three sons. Failure to do so will show the world what the Libyan Transitional Council is all about. By the way, , Who is going to govern Libya?
Same thing that should have happened to Shrub and Shooter - tried for crimes against humanity. PERIOD.
The US should stay out of it completely. If he is guilty of any crimes, justice will be served on earth and in the hereafter..
I would love to see a democratic gov't formed and a civilized trial held, at the end of that trial they would take Qaddafi to the gallows and hang him. The oil would start flowing again and the price of oil would come down to Bachman's predictions of $2.00 a gallon for gas. Tripoli will become a large tourist attraction for people to go on their vacation. When I dream I dreamed big. What very well might happen is Qaddafi ends up like Mussolini where the people ripped his body to shreds in the street and some militant or terrorist group takes control Libya. Perry becomes president and invades Libya at the cost of trillions of dollars and American lives.
The people of Libya should decide, not us here in America or CNN! So far they have kept his captured sons from harm and have promised him safety if he turns himself in! If they do so it will show creditability to their cause! To kill him would show in my estimation, a lack of creditability on their part!
Let’s stay out of this and see what they do!!!
Dan K Owens Cross roads Alabama
Libya's people must deside his fate. He should end up like Sadam did although the people must give him some sort of trail.
The exact same thing as was done to Saddam
That shall be up to the people of Libya. Considering the violent nature of that part of the world, I would expect their actions to be violent.
Maybe the tea party should take custody of him and put him up for president. He wouldn't be any more rediculous than the other republican candidates.
the same thing that happend to Benito Mussolini in Milan in 1945, Jack.
Take him up to the altitude Pan Am 103 was when it exploded and have him ejected with as many parachutes as possible automatically deploying to slow his decent. If he doesn't freeze to death then let him go, by then any brain function should be minimal..
Jack,
Gadhafi should be immediately hung upside down, as women and children are allowed to stone him. NO trial, no right for leniency, an eye for an eye, but in this case Gadhafi will not have any eyes remaining. Whatever is done, do not waste extra time and money. The seals who shot Bin Ladin had the right idea, no games, no shows, no need for additional people to suffer, get the job done.

Gadhafi should get to keep the billlions he stole like the u.s. bankers and wall street firms got to keep the trillions they stole, and be allowed to retire in libya. The libyian anarchists were supported by France, Great Britian, and the U.S. for their oil. Bush and obama have ordered the bombings, drone attacks, killings and assainations of thousands of people in iraq, afghanistan, and pakistan and they will both be allowed to retire without prosecution by any court.
Jack,
Would it be going too far to suggest locking him in a room with Sarah Palin and throwing away the key?
Hopefully he will be captured live. Put him in a straight-jacket; tape his mouth shut, put him in a 2 x2 cell, and never let him out, but keep telling him he is still in charge.
Lafayette, LA
Gadhafi is not our problem. His people can do whatever they want with him.
If Libya's Moammar Gadhafi is captured he should be sent to GITMO for Water Boarding and and various other types of torture supported by the U.S. Government, who claims to be the Worlds Leader in the enforcement and prevention of Human Rights Violations.
He should be asked how he likes to spell his last name for his obituary and then shot to put him out of our misery.
i guess hang him he dont need to prove he is not guilty the whole world already know he guilty
Put him on a remote-controlled plane, fly it up to 38,000 feet, and cut the engine. Let him think about the usefulness of his life on the way down so he can see what it was like for the Lockerbie victims.
If you put Moammar Gadhafi on trial he's going to say that noting happened and his country loves him.
Jack: What ever the Libyan Rebels want to do with Moammar Gadhafi is fine. Mr. Gadhafi will probably be put on a quick trial and shot or hung the next day. I believe 40 years of terror and death will come to an end. Mr. Gadhafi was an evil dictator, who deserves no mercy, because Moammar showed done it the last 40 years. If he escapes from Libya then someone should help the Libyans by killing him. Key word: sniper
Gadhafi if captured should be allowed to live in exile somewhere in Africa and there will be a lot of African countries willing to host him – Over the past 42 years, despite the tyranny, Gadhafi has contributed much towards liberation struggles in Africa and just like George Bush, Tony Blair and Dick Chenney who have committed massive atrocities against man kind, Gadhafi too should be left alone and allowed to live out the rest of his days in peace and freedom
Ready, fire, aim.
How about we forget the world court and just make him run as Bachmann's VP. A team the Tea Party could get behind.
No trial!
Gadhafi's guilt has been plastered on TV for the last 4 decades.
No trial!
On TV we have followed Gadhafi's guilt in exploding the Pan Am Flight over Lockerbee, Scotland.
No trial!
We have followed Gadhafi's guilt in torturing and murdering his own people.
No trial!
We have followed the money trail in Gadhafi's sponsoring terrorism.
No trial!
Send Gadhafi straight to life in solitary confinement, bread, and water.
No trial!
The man needs to pay for the actions he did, both humanitarian and to the world
He should be returned to Lockerbie ... from 30,000 feet.
He should be sent to wherever Saddam Hussein is nowadays.
He should be tried, sent to prison in Scotland but only in one of their finer prisons known for customer service then after a brief period of time, perhaps ten years, then sent to the desolate town of Serti, Libya where he can live out the rest of his despicable life.
Build him a big house in Crawford, Texas on Bush's ranch and then they can get together once in a while since they both committed war crimes against humanity.
He should not be captured...at least not alive. Collect DNA and then a quiet burial at sea in the Indian Ocean...at least that's what I've heard is the modus operandi these days.
Jack
I don't know what they'll do with Gadaffy. I'm guessing they won't throw shoes at him. al- Megrahi will be killed for sure.
Gadhafi should not be killed by the rebel forces but, instead, should stand trial in the Hague for crimes aginst humanity. Other dictators in the region need to see justice done on the world stage and what awaits them if they attack their neighbors and murder their own people to stay in office. One picture of justice served is worth a thousand words.
Let the libyan people prosecute him like in Iraq.
What should happen to Libya's Moammar Gadhafi if he's captured?
A quick trial followed by a quicker hanging would be about right.

I don't know. Maybe one of the favorite execution methods of that region (stoning to death or beheading) sounds good.
Whatever happens, it needs to be left to the Libyan people!
He has been their dictator, they are the ones who should mete out justice. I just hope they do it publicly, to maybe give other despots a lesson!
Ultimately, it is up to the Libyan people, but I believe he should be delivered to the International Criminal Court. It would begin the healing and rebuilding process. The victims deserve comprehensive justice. Besides serving Libya, delivering Gadhafi to the ICC would also serve the movement to end impunity for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide throughout the world.
What did Trump do with that tent? He could put him up on his golf course in Westchester.
Carol in Northampton, Ma
He should be given a fair trial, then executed.

I think its a joke. Yes, Gadhafi repressed his own people, but did it really take the UN some 40 years to figure out that Gadhafi was a dictator and they had to bring in NATO? Sure the Libyan people deserve a chance, but will democracy ever come? Democracy has never worked in the Middle East and I hope the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't get control, like they have been in Egypt. If anything, Gadhafi, like Slobodan Milosevic and Charles Taylor before him, will more than likely stand in front of the International Criminal Court. I also believe NATO should be prosecuted as well. We can start with the bombing of Yugoslavia and put Libya on top of it. As Ron Paul says, we should mind our own business.

He's probably in Pakistan. Once he's captured, he can go swimming with bin Laden.
Jack,
His is a Libyan citizen, thus he is bound by their laws. Let him be tried by his own people/country and let them decide his fate. It is none of the U.S.'s business. We may not agree with or like it, but let his own country decide what to do with him.
What should we do with a known terrorist? Easy: terrorize him. I say we send him to Lockerbie, Scotland and force him to eat Haggis, as he listens to Sarah Palin read from one of her books, while watching Fox News' morning show. Shooting him would be too quick and nice.
Libya is part of Africa and is also a member of the African Union, let them be the deciders of Gadhafi's fate if they are what they claim to be.
He should be captured dead just like Bin Laden.
Unfortunately, he can’t be adequately punished for all the evil he has done. The only thing I can think of is to turn him loose – into a crowd of Libians.
If Moammur Gadhafi is captured, he should face justice in Libya at the hands of the Libyian people and let the chips fall where they may. I have no problem with this process as long as it is fair. Any assets that Gadhafi may have should be confiscated by the United States or the United Nations and given to the new government that will be formed after the revolution.
Jack,
First, Moammar Gadhafi has to be caught. Being the coward he is, I'm guessing Gadhafi will commit suicide before he is captured. If Gadhafi hasn’t fled from Libya.
String him up.
Strap him to one of his SCUD missiles and launch it, towards SYRIA. What a fitting message.
No brainer, he should face Libyan justice...just like the one he handed out during his reign.
He should be required to listen to Michelle Bachman speaches for 120 hours – then hell kill himself. Reduce gasoline prices to $2 if elected? Believe that and you believe Arizona will get 100 inches of snow next winter.
Simple! Hand him over to jack bauer
If he's captured alive, he should be turned over to the Libyan people. No one has a greater right to determine his fate.

Gadhafi needs to be brought before the Hague. Although plenty of Libyans would love to see him executed, bringing him to the International Court would be a massive step in establishing legitimacy for the newly freed nation. Legitimacy is what Libya needs to be focusing on. Not revenge.
He should not be killed but held responsible for the crimes he has comitted against humanity.
If they find Ghadhafi they should deal with him like the romanians dealt with Ceausescu in 1989.
Cristian
"The Gadhafferty File" has a nice ring to it.....
Jack,
He should have a Beer Summit with Obama, because he acted Stupidly, indeed...
He has committed crimes against his own people and against the world community. It would be best if both groups were able to prosecute their case against him. I would give the Libyans first shot (no pun intended) at him.
The only ethical answer, Jack, is to the ICC. If the rebels do this it will bode well for the future of a Libya ruled by law. Right now they do not have the legal institutions to try him. To murder him would only put them on the wrong path to a society ruled by law. All Americans should be hoping for this.
He should be extradited to the U.S, tried and convicted for the Pan Am bombing and executed. The same for the Libyan bomber that Britain released from prison.
A lot of money would be saved if would reach for a weapon when he's found.
There is no way Gadhafi could ever be punished enough to equal the destruction and pain that he and his regime caused, and even if it was possible, would we really want to go down to his level? No. NATO and U.S. represent the rule of law, modern civilization, and democratic rights. He should stand trial in the ICC and spend the rest of his life in prison. Killing Gadhafi wouldn't change what he has done, but putting him on trial will show the world all of his crimes and that the newly created International Criminal Court can be an effective means of obtaining justice for leaders who commit crimes against humanity and war crimes.
Jack, do you want the whole list or just the top ten?
Gadhafi has killed way more Libyans than Americans or any other nationality. He's their problem. Let them deal with him.
As long as he is alive, other people will die, probably by the thousands. He wants to be a martyr, so be it!!!
Jack, one bullit between the eyes.
He's already in Pakistan where they keep the rest of the terrorists.
He should be turned over to the Hague. A nice holding cell could be a room with the families of Pan am flight 103
jack if u were the president of the United States, wht would u suggest?
As much as many people would like to see him treated the way he treated his own subjects, he should be turned over to the ICC and made to live out his life completely isolated from all but his jailers..Let him have the prison rats as subjects
I don't think you will have to worry about what will happen to him. The rebels will probably skin him alive in the middle of what WAS Green Square.
It's important for the future of Libya that Gadhafi be captured and processed through a criminal court system headed by the new free government of Libya. Closure can't be accomplished by a court system thousands of miles away headed by non Libyan citizens. Gadhafi deserves to be tried and convicted in a court compiled of Libyans that were affected by his forty years of brutal rule.
who cares???
let his people deal with him. Who have to care about how to make money and not loosing time with hitler motivated individuals across the globe, because time is money.
Give Ghadaffi tent space in central Park and send out entire congress to Libya as a fair swap. Congress knows how to tear down a democracy. Let them learn to build one in North Aftica/ Nelson
novel thought–what business is it of ours?? Bush/cheney/rummy have never been held accountable for their actions.
How about the 'Death of a Thousand Cuts'? ....or....'Have you ever been chained to a Cactus'?
Seriously though Jack, how can one not execute a person this Evil? This man has callously caused the death of thousands, including chilren....not to mention rape, torture, and other despicable acts of insanity! What other course of action is there but to erase this person from the planet Earth? To leave him around, you invite future rants and ravings from a lunatic – much like Charles Manson.
Richard/Canada
Bring him to the US in the bombay of an Air Force bomber over the Atlantic OOOOPS ! Peter in VT
Regardless of how many non-Libyians he has destroyed their lives, he has done far worse to his own people. They deserve the right to try him in their courts, and we can reap the results with satisfaction!!!!
Gadhafi if found alive will receive a trial and punishment for his crimes. This is one time the United States needs to back off and let the International community try him in their court and dole out the punishment. The United States can't be judge, jury and executioner for all thugs that commit acts of terror. We can sit quietly and watch justice being served to one of our enemies.
I Think We Should Capture, Try Him In A Court And Then Give Him The Death Penalty! He Should Die For All The People He Killed Just Like We Killed Saddam Hussein & Osama Bin Laden!
Scott Stodden (Freeport, Illinois)
"Should" is for fairy tales with moral lessons and happy outcomes. Ghadafi should be captured alive and should be tried and executed for crimes against humanity. What will happen is that he will be shot and killed by an emotionally-charged young soldiier, or he will shoot and kill himself to evade the humiliation of capture and trial. Remembering the fate of Saddam Hussein will be the second to last thing that goes through his mind. The last will be a bullet.
Can you say show trial? He'll be guilty until proven guilty.
Exile to Texas to read his little green book in public for minimun wage.
Swap Khadaffi for out congress. Col K to central park tent and our entire congress to Tripoli to build democracy (they know how to tear one down)
Nelson from PA
What should be done with this madman? Easy, make him watch Sarah Palin's documentary 42 times in a row – one for each year in power – and then see if you can get a complete sentence out of him. Wait, maybe that's why he can't speak now........
If he is caught alive I would hope he is hung, drawn & quartered. Let it be on State TV.
Jack, if it were up to me, I would have Gadhafi bound arms and legs and then thrown into a pool of hungry sharks. Not only does he deserve that type of end, but it would entail very little cost, and hopefully the sharks would enjoy their unusual meal. Sounds gruesome, but no worse then the atrocities he committed over the last forty years.
Hi Jack, I'm hoping he is killed when captured or commits suicide because he is too much of a coward to face justice. Either way, as soon as I learn he's no longer roaming the earth I'm buying a bottle of champagne and toasting the liberation of people in Libya.
What is of prime importance to American & Libyan People is the resumption of oil tanker loadings at all the terminals in the country. We in the West need the resumption to the normal level of 1.8 million barrels of daily exports & the Libyan People need the Dollars to rebuild & care for the needy. The fate of a dictator pales in comparison to the needs of the rest of us.
If Gadhafi is captured, let him decide his fate
Let the Libyans give him a "Fair Trial" and then hang him just like the Iraqi's did with Sadamm.
Get him a tailor for the first time in his life.
Let the Libyans who were brave enough to go against their dictator against all odds to free their country from this powerful family and obtain "Freedom and Democracy" have their day in his (their) sentence (s). I believe this will speak to all corrupt countries to get their governments in order or they will be following the same foot steps of these corrupt governments and regimes.
He shot down a commerical airliner, our navy shot down a Iranian commerical airliner.He payed, we payed. If Libya did not have oil ;France ,Italy. and England would have not have started this war. The logical extension of business is muder
Gadhafi should suicide bomb himself and become the martyr he has always wanted to be.
US House of Representatives as a Tea Party Candidate from Wisconsin.
He should be forced to live in Crawford TX cutting brush 24/7 with Dubya Bush the moron that took him off the terrorist list to please BP Oil.
He had his own people shot like dogs but I am more compasionate. I say they should treat him like a horse that comes up lame. Take him to the "GLUE Factory".
I don't know to be honest with you Jack. Libya is unlike any other country to be liberated. Many will say it is up to the Libyan people to determine his fate, but with no central government who is to ensure that he will have a "Just' trial, if there will be a trial to begin with. Even for his crimes against humanity, we cannot argue human rights violations and then not give him to same rights we're so determined to protect.
I really dont care what they do with him.... but I do not want us sticking our nose into whatever it is....
Without a doubt no ICC, AN ABSOLUTE NO BRAINER, the Libyans will put him on trial ( Arab Style ) when found guilty put him in one of those filthy Tripoli prisons he use to lock people up in!!!!!
it is time for justice, this criminal killed tens of thousands of innocent people, men, women, elderly even kids. and i would like to say to everyone who is asking to forgive this animal, to imagine for a second if one of their family was one of those innocent people who was killed , what would they say...
same thing happens in Syria, massacres happen everyday in front of the world, and no real actions have been taking to stop syrian criminal regime after 5 months of crimes. WHERE IS THE HUMANITY INSIDE US.
Send him to India. He was their buddy. They can worship him also now alongwith other deities they have. HARE OM!
Jack , Gadhafi if captured Humm first check his pockets for 100 dolar bills , rip his rolex off his wrist and take all the gold chains from around his neck. Aren't you curious how many millions they will find him with. I'm sure we will be sending millions more to the rebels now .
you mean what to do with Libia's oil? don't be kidding me about freedom and democracy, or about Gadhafi. Jack you know better than that........
If even he is caught alive, the end must b death
It might not be a bad idea to introduce him to Osama bin Laden
"The Gadhafferti File" has a nice ring to it.....
Let his own people handle it. We have interfered enough as it is. He has killed so many of them, if they want to tear him limb from limb in retaliation, so be it.
i think Gadhafi should not be captured and his sons freed and the charges dropped the country only knows Gadhafi and nothing else. the rebels should stand down unless they want a repeat of Baghdad and have years of insurgency and chaos. Libya will now suffer the consquences of being a crisis state just like iraq and will continue to be corrupt. the people may be united now but after Gadhafi is gone and the new regime and government is not seen their way just like the citizens of Egypt Libya will crumble and have no power only a puppet state led by figureheads and fools. Nato's job is to prevent blood not enforce blood and killed innocents and bomb the infrastructures. this is truly sad if history has taught us one thing it that people unite to bring down one leader for their own selfish purposes and immoral purpose and will do anything to get rid of one man and make deals with the deals with the devil and after all is done and the man gone will ununite and fall apart.
I hope the Libyans decide to send him to the ICC. This gets him out of the country, removes further entanglements, and allows them to move on with the job of healing and governing. Out of sight, out of mind!
So you want to live in a tent give him a tent out in the middle of the desert and about 5 gallons of water and none after the 5 gallons are gone.
Jack, you should take him home for a while to meet the family. You two look like you'd get along well together.
Wolf
the International Court of Justice can have second chance on Ghad-awful-Daffy. the US should get him first and try him for sponsoring the Lockerbie plane bombing. and his little henchman, too,who got a sneaky lawyer to pull a deal with Britain to release the "dying" man because Ghad-awful-Daffy played the oil card.
Who cares? Sen. McCain is already pushing us into Syria! Qadaffi is old news. We have a new war now.
Remember what the Italians did to Mussolini? There you go.
What should happen to Libya’s Gadhafi if captured? You give him and his associates new sunglasses for the bright lights of the World's Court room tv cameras so we all get to hear juicier innuendo than what Wikileaks provide!
Jack,
Gadhafi is clearly guilty of crimes against humanity and must pay the price. Whether at the hands of the Libyans, the U.S., or the International Criminal Court, he must tried for his crimes and, if convicted, he must die. The example provided by the Iraqis in dealing justice to Saddam Hussein should be followed. The message must be clear and consistent. Though it may take decades, tyrants will fall and they will pay for their tyranny.

If captured by NATO tried at the Hague, if captured by the rebels tried in Libya – not rocket science. More likely is that the capture of his sons will have him negotiate to leave the country and seek asylum somewhere else in Africa.
I think he should be exiled to Austin Texas, and be forced to live right next to G.W. Bush and Family 🙂
1. His extensive "rock star" sunglasses collection should be auctioned off to pay to the families of victims he has murdered.

Or, torture the rest of world. Put him on a double bill with Charlie Sheen.
