About that victory for democracy in Libya

CNN - Several detainees in Libya have died after being tortured in recent weeks, the human rights group Amnesty International said Thursday. The humanitarian aid group Doctors Without Borders said it was halting its work in detention centers in Misrata because detainees are "tortured and denied urgent medical care." ...

In a statement, Amnesty described "widespread torture and ill-treatment of suspected pro-Gadhafi fighters and loyalists," a reference to those who fought for the regime of leader Moammar Gadhafi until his ouster and death.
