1000s die in Libya, reports of poison gas
Libya's deputy ambassador to the UN says thousands of people have been killed during protests, as unconfirmed reports have come in claiming the regime has used poison gas on demonstrators.
Ibrahim Dabbashi, who has turned against the Gaddafi regime, said the death toll is expected to rise as Muammar Gaddafi continues his bloody crackdown against the opposition.
"There are already thousands of people who have been killed, we expect more. They are gathering all the bodies and they are taking them to the desert or somewhere. No one knows where are the bodies of the victims," AFP quoted Dabbashi as saying.
And:
Meanwhile, there are reports that forces loyal to Gaddafi's crumbling regime have mounted attacks in towns west of Tripoli.
The regime has already lost control of Misurata and Zuara in the west. Opposition protesters are now in control of major cities in the east, including Benghazi.
According to reports, security forces loyal to Gaddafi have stormed hospitals in Tripoli and murdered protesters who were being treated.
There are also unconfirmed reports that the regime has used poison gas against demonstrators in Misarata (Misurata).
Karma, babies.. Gaddafi's really generating some massive negativity right before his upcoming violent and probably recorded death. Personally, I'd like to see him captured alive and sent before the I.C.C.. But I just don't see that in the cards for any of them, really.. If the focused hatred of Libya towards Gaddafi and his family and inner circle doesn't manifest in him/them being torn to shreds on camera and the videos posted on You Tube; if he is indeed, captured alive, he/they won't make it to trial. Gaddafi and his core group know too much, and can't be allowed to talk. Therefore, they'll be killed.
Not that this is entirely bad. Maybe the only way Libya can move forward is to bear witness to the lifeless carcasses of the cabal that previously commanded them. Their dead bodies, the evidence needed that their murderous spirits have moved on, and The People don't have to be afraid anymore.
After this bullshit, I have no idea what it would take for the people of Libya to be able to move on, process the collective wounds still being inflicted, and not live in fear. It feels strange to write this while Gaddafi is still alive.. But it really doesn't feel like he is. Maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like he's already gone, and damn, was that video gross..
