Libya's Torture Camp Now Opened for Public Viewing




If there was only one thing true about leadership, it should be that the leader/president/revolutionary leader or call it whatever you want is the first person responsible for acts committed under his/her regime. This is true in the North, East, West and certainly in the South. When the times are good the leader takes most of the credit. the reverse should also be valid.


The discovery of the torture chambers and equipment hidden in Kaddafi's military camps in Benghazi is going to put and extra pressure on the embattled leader. His sons can mount all the media campaigns they want. The game is over! 





This is Muhammed Abdul Ali, he was in jail three times during the course of his life. Listen to the riveting account of the events told by Muhammed himself. He was hang up side down and was beaten to paralysis. He was left with permanent brain damage and severe deformities. No human being should go through that. This is one of the most damaging evidence against Kaddafi. Surprisingly, these types of pictures didn't surface in Tunisia or in Egypt, or at least they did not receive this type of publicity. one could also argue that Ben Ali and Mubarak were pretty good at hidding the facts. 

Kaddafy's secrete police crushed Muhammed body but not the spirit of this great man. As I've pointed out in a previous postKaddafi killed about 1200 political prisoners in 1996. It is clear that more similar cases are going to pop up here and here and make him a ripe target for the ICC.
