7. What people do not realize is that
Edited on Thu May-05-11 11:54 AM by tabatha
Gaddafi placed the Command and Control centers in his compound. In order to try to stop the massacre of thousands of civilians, these centers have to be taken out.

There are reports that Gaddafi has taken the wounded from hospitals and killed them --- why, because the fact that they are injured is a sign that they oppose Gaddafi. He has lobbed shells at humanitarian aid ships trying to get the wounded and the fleeing out of Misrata, and mined the harbor. He has fired heavy duty weapons at unarmed civilians. He has poisoned water supplies, and killed goats belonging to civilians.

Why was none of this in the report?

And if the death of his son is bogus, as I suspect it is, then NATO's campaign in Libya has been pretty good - I think there are less than 20 people killed as opposed to the 10,000 and counting by Gaddafi.

Why are those numbers not in that report? Why is the fact that the ICC has evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity not in that report?
