 So, officials for Libya's transitional authorities say Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi has been killed and the BBC have just confirmed. Pictures of his corpse being dragged through the streets are already circulating.

Mugabi next?

Mugabi next?

My thoughts entirely!

Not sure about death without a trial but in Mugabi's case...the man's a vile, murdering, bastard who has made life a misery for millions of his people.

No, I'd be content never to see his arrogant, smug face again.

I don't think so, otherwise he'd been killed long before...
He had oil. And since he'd steered away from openly supporting terrorists, he was a "friend" for them.  Sad

From the Evening Standard and hardly surprising:
British business executives were today told to "pack their suitcases" and fly to Libya to win contracts to rebuild the war-ravaged country.
New Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said British firms should move quickly to secure lucrative work after the Gaddafi regime fell yesterday.

"Now that campaign is over I would expect British companies to be, even today packing their suitcases and looking to get out to Libya to take part in the reconstruction of that country as soon as they can," he told the BBC.

Mr Hammond, a successful businessman before he became an MP, said the UK had intervened on humanitarian grounds as Colonel Gaddafi's troops were on the verge of a massacre of civilians in the rebel-held city of Benghazi.

But he also made clear that British firms should now not lose out to French and other foreign rivals in the work to put Libya back on its feet and as the oil-rich country opens up its markets.

A Ministry of Defence source said: "The Defence Secretary was stating the obvious point that in support of organisations and departments like the Department for International Development, the UN, NGOs and the Libyans themselves, businesses can play a legitimate role in the reconstruction and stabilisation of Libya."

Some members of the National Transitional Council have made it clear that British and French firms will be looked on favourably given that the two nations led the Allied campaign to topple Gaddafi. But MPs believe that Libya should also reimburse the UK for the cost of its military action.

"In the past, freedom has been paid for with blood and gold," said Daniel Kawczynski, chairman of the All Party group for Libya. "The timely intervention by our Government and the international community saved many innocent lives, but the action came at a cost, and this cost has been borne by the hard-pressed British taxpayer.

"In these difficult economic times, it should not be too much to ask a country with Libya's wealth and resources to pay their share of the gold."
