The Colonel, who invented the bunga bunga, is not dead. He's alive in all of our hearts and will be celebrated at my local swingers club. Next is Berlusconi.<Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks! -

Sounds, at the moment, as if he was captured alive, dragged around the streets for a bit and then shot.

Certainly looks like it. Anyone else think it's a little sick and voyeuristic of the major agencies touting photos of his dead body? Is this now socially acceptable?
Or am I just an old fashioned bed-wetter?

I'm probably the only one, but it's sounds to me like the new lot in Libya could be just as barbaric as the old lot.
I wonder if they're as anti al Quaida as Gadaffi was?Comment

Its difficult, the picture of him dead will mean that many people will truly believe him dead and the chance of fanatics denying it is less.Originally posted by Ruprect View PostCertainly looks like it.

No, you are not alone.Originally posted by Ruprect View PostCertainly looks like it. Anyone else think it's a little sick and voyeuristic of the major agencies touting photos of his dead body? Is this now socially acceptable?

However, major agencies will freely tout images of the dead as long as they are not of their own people.
e.g Were any images of people killed by the IRA shown or of UK soldiers killed in Afghanistan or Iraq? No.
Compare that with the freely shown images of, for example, Iraqi's killed in the Gulf War.Comment
