"Ron has not replied". So sorry i have a life outside Mudcat. You might want to try it sometime, LH. (Yeah, I know you're kidding. Sure you are.) But it sure is interesting that you seem to be on Mudcat all the time. Must have a rather undemanding job--and no other demands on your time by others in the house.
The question is if I have time to address all the specious arguments on the thread.
The answer is: just enough now for a few points.
"lynch mob". Right. For a mass-murdering dictator.
Good thing Churchill did not have this attitude. And it was in fact very much in evidence at the time. The SIS did not take kindly to the SOE, which Churchill established 16 July 1940. The SOE field included "terrorist acts against traitors and German leaders." Killing Hitler p 195.
And it's certainly not necessary to announce the $10 million bounty for Gadhafi. Just see to it that the word gets to Gadhafi's own mercenaries. That's the main goal.
