Forgive me people for starting this one. Now lets monitor how Libya gets out of this violent and bloody start. Lets avoid subjective, personalized, opinionated comments.

Maybe this is the right direction by the NTC. Part of the reason many are pessimistic is the way they treated POWs after capture, the gruesome executions and rebels invoking the name of God while sinning.

Not out of the woods yet. Sample this:

'Attempts to launch an investigation are unlikely to be welcomed in Misrata, where the rebels who captured Gaddafi in his home town of Sirte are based. Asked this week about the questions surrounding his death by people outside Libya, Misrata's military chief, Ibrahim Beit al-Mal, said: "Why are they even asking this question? He was caught and he was killed. Would he have given us the same? Of course."

Talk of an inquest was being seen by Misrata officials as an attempt by the Benghazi-dominated NTC to claim prominence in post-Gaddafi affairs.

"Everybody knows who caught him and who fought the most during the past nine months," an official said. "It was us. It was no one else."

The identity of the man who allegedly pulled his 9mm pistol from his waistband and shot the wounded dictator in the left temple around 20 minutes after his capture is widely known in Misrata, as is the unit he belonged to, the Katiba Ghoran.

"They won't come near us," said the rebel who pulled Gaddafi from a drain last Thursday. "They won't dare. Gaddafi was saying: 'What's this, what's this?' After nine months of blood, he was saying: 'What's this?'. What does he expect?"

These are the Misrata rebels, who sound ready to obstruct justice by all means. Throw in the Benghazi ones, the Berbers, Gaddafi loyalists who have quietly vowed revenge, The angry Sirte residents.....not forgetting the balkanized Tripoli.....These people clealy need prayers.
