Around 30 men lay decomposing in the heat. Many of them had their hands tied behind their back, either with plastic handcuffs or ropes. One had a scarf stuffed into his mouth. Almost all of the victims were black men. Their bodies had been dumped near the scene of two recent battles between rebel and regime forces in Tripoli, so as to disguise their brutal execution at the hands of the rebels.

These executions cannot be war crimes, because the auxiliaries of the FedGov carried them out. Well, not until the FedGov decides that this particular group of auxiliaries is no longer welcome in the Empire's camp. When that happens, there will be a fresh batch of war criminals for the judicial grist mill in The Hague.

There's an amazing amount of irony to be had here. The Western NATO countries preach all the time how they're not racists, about how they're in Libya to protect people. And now the rebels NATO supports are killing blacks faster than the KKK and Neo-Nazi's combined.

If not trial by jury democratic now, then how can their court system get any better?
