Libya: Gaddafi To be Investigated For Crimes Against Humanity -- The Telegraph
Col Gaddaffi and key aides will be investigated by the International Criminal Court over allegations they committed crimes against humanity while fending off the uprising in Libya.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the Hague's prosecutor said: "We have identified some individuals with de factor or formal authority, who have authority over the security forces.

My Comment: Gaddaffi may not care what the International Criminal Court may do if they should choose to investigate (and possible prosecute him) for war crimes. But the ones who do care are his children. They love to travel and live abroad, and any impediment to such a lifestyle will not go over well with them or their own families.
I say prosecute them, and use them as a modern day symbol of what happens if war crimes are committed against civilian targets.
