Graeme Mackay, 10/23/11:
This may be a minor theological point, but I believe that in most conceptions of the Christian Hell -- and that's what Gadaffi's in, despite his own religion -- the damned souls are tortured, and fallen angels are the torturers.
But, here, Gadaffi is apparently being given an immediate battlefield promotion from the ranks of those stabbed with pitchforks to those doing the stabbing. I suspect Mackay did not intend this, but it's what he drew.
