Gaddafi Captured

There are reports he was captured at Sirte and has been rushed to hospital for treatment of wounds.

see BBC

see Al Jazeera

That should end the matter unless his sons try to fight to the bitter end.

UPDATE Apparently the first reports were false. Gaddafi was killed and his body transported to Misrata.

UPDATE Further information is that Gaddafi was captured alive but killed on the spot by out of control fighters. This is a black mark on the revolution but I doubt many will shed a tear. One son was also killed and Saif was captured separately. The French air force apparently blocked the escaping vehicles carrying Gaddafi.

Surely this must be the end of the fight. Now comes the rebuilding.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
