Gaddafi Dead!

From the BBC:
"Muammar Gaddafi killed in Libya"

Libya's ex-leader Col Muammar Gaddafi has been killed after an assault on his birthplace of Sirte, officials say. Acting Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril announced the death, and later said the colonel had been killed in a crossfire between Gaddafi loyalists and fighters from the transitional authorities. He confirmed that Col Gaddafi had been taken alive, but died of bullet wounds minutes before reaching hospital. US President Barack Obama said it was a "momentous day" for Libya, now that tyranny had fallen. He said the country had a "long and winding road towards full democracy", but the US and other countries would stand behind Tripoli. Col Gaddafi was toppled from power in August after 42 years in charge of the country.

^ This is a great thing (almost as great as when Saddam or bin Laden were killed.) I don't care whether he was taken alive and then shot or just shot. He is dead and that is all we should care about. Hopefully Libya can now open itself to the rest of the world and become a democratic and civilized nation. ^
