BBC News - Libyan forces 'capture Gaddafi':

A fighter in Sirte has told the BBC his account of the reported capture. Mohammed, a young fighter in his 20s, wearing a blue T-shirt and a New York Yankees baseball cap, said he had found the colonel hiding in a hole in the ground in the city of Sirte. He told the BBC that the former Libyan leader said to him simply: "Don't shoot"."

[Female] Journalists Without Frontiers?
"Gaddafi frequently made sexual advances on female journalists, and successfully bedded a few in exchange for interviews.[327][328]"


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Muammar_Abu_Minyar_al-Gaddafi_in_Dimashq,_Syria.jpg

"In Damascus, Gaddafi travels with hisAmazonian Guards, an armed all-female military troupe."


"Unlike some other military revolutionaries, Gaddafi did not promote himself to the rank of general upon seizing power, but rather accepted a ceremonial promotion from lieutenant to colonel[330] and remained at this rank. While at odds with Western military ranking, where a colonel would not rule a country or serve as commander-in-chief of its military, in Gaddafi's own words Libya's society is "ruled by the people", so he did not need a more grandiose title or supreme military rank.[8]"



Now, the people have spoken. And seized him.
But, like Jerry Seinfeld said, "WHO ARE these people???"
Are they truly the Libyan revolutionaries...or somebody's operatives?
Like Enya said, "Only time will tell..."
If post-Gaddafi Libya will turn out to be worse...then, like Britney Spears said: "Oops!..."

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
