The apparent execution (?) of dictator Muamar Gaddafi seems to be a war crime. No matter how terrible dictator Gadaffi was, the images of his capture and beating were very disturbing. What is even more shocking are the images of the whole video of his capture which is now now available and has been analyzed frame by frame. From the link above:
An analysis of video obtained by GlobalPost from a rebel fighter who recorded the moment when Col. Muammar Gaddafi was first captured confirms that another rebel fighter, whose identity is unknown, sodomized the former leader as he was being dragged from the drainpipe where he had taken cover.
A frame by frame analysis of this exclusive GlobalPost video clearly shows the rebel trying to insert some kind of stick or knife into Gaddafi's rear end.

What I find amazing is that Obama or Clinton did not even bother to ask for an investigation. Only amnesty international and the UN did. There is also concern that additional war crimes may have been committed by the rebels, as discussed in this diary.
Again, the fact that Gadaffi was a terrible dictator and committed war crimes himself, does not justify war crimes in retaliation. War crimes are despicable no matter who commits them. Gadhaffi or his opponents. International laws should be respected and people who commit war crimes should be arrested and prosecuted no matter what side they support.
