From The Times. The journo was interviewing a woman who had lost her son from shooting by a Gaddaffi sniper. He suggested that she probably wanted Gaddaffi dead, but “Oh no”, she said, “we want him alive. We would like the coalition to peg him out for us. We would then kill him slowly, by allowing every mother and wife in Libya to pinch off a small piece of his flesh.”

It doesn’t matter WHY we’re there.

It’s the right thing to do.

I’d be happy to stand by with a bowl of ground chilli and salt mix for them to rub in to each piece of exposed flesh, too.
