Dozens of rotting corpses "are an ominous foretaste of what might be Libya's future. The incoming regime makes pious statements about taking no revenge," but you'd never know it from visible carnage across the city.
"The crucial question for Libyans is whether the war will now truly end," or if Libya will replicate Afghanistan and Iraq where nothing so far is resolved, only an illusion of quasi-stability in Baghdad and other parts of the country.
Cockburn quoted Sky News reporter Alex Crawford's comments on rebel-committed bloodshed in Zawiya, saying:
"They were bringing in people with half their heads blown off, people with their legs blown off....We saw Gaddafi fighters who were tied up and executed...Rebel retaliations here are really upsetting."
