“@MolksTVTalk: re:Gaddafi. Can we no longer trust news services to tell us he's dead?Pics too much for Brekky.” we tell but how much to show
- In my job, I've recorded tv news services for nearly 30 years and I've seen some horrific and confronting images in that time.

Maybe it's the Arab culture to display like a trophy, and give it no dignity in death.
