Been away all day but listened to a debate on Radio5 Live this morning concerning the fate that awaits Ghadaffi. Best laugh was when the Amnesty International mouthpiece came on. Her view was that he should be tried in the Hague because there were “problems” with the Libyan Judicial system. It would take a few years to fix them to the high standard that Amnesty deigns to accept. She was also adamant that the Death Penalty should NOT be applied and for good measure she confirmed to a breathless BBC interviewer that Saddam was “denied justice”. She repeated this for all to hear. However a Libyan came on and he denounced her typical Amnesty arrogance in no uncertain terms and with considerable success, to the evident concern of the BBC who swoon at the court of Shamnesty. It strikes me that Shamnesty are fully aligned with the BBC and so it was very uncomfortable to hear an ordinary Libyan declare that his country was quite capable of putting Ghadaffi on trial, with execution as one very possible outcome.
