#5 Accountable? Unacceptable? Brought to Justice?
These are threats, and require the will to act, and most importantly, that OTHERS believe you have the will to act.
As for holding people accountable, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_R._Higgins
Hezbollah

Hezbollah

and still waiting for them to be held accountable and brought to justice....

#8 In response, the Rebs have formally rejected negotiations wid Muammar + have repor given him 72 hours to leave power or else face formal prosecution for HR abuses + related heinous crimes.

See also THE HINDU > US ASKS QADDFAFI AIDES TO LEAVE HIM OR FACE CONSEQUENCES.

* SAME > [retired UK BrigGen. Ben Barry]EXPERT: NO FLY ZONE MAY NOT HALT QADHAFI OFFENSIVE.

Real threat to Libyuhn Rebels from the air is from ARMED LIBYAN ARMY HELICOPTER GUNSHIPS, NOT FAST-MOVING FIXED-WING STRIKE AIRCRAFT - US, NATO DO NOT HAVE THE NUMBERS OF AIR ASSETS AVAILABLE, IN-THEATER OR ELSEWHERE, TO SUPPORT AN EFFEC NFZ FOR A COUNTRY AS LARGE AS LIBYUH.

IOW, the US-NATO will have to put off A NFZ for AT LEAST A YEAR-PLUS WHILE WORKING TO DEV THE AIR ASSETS REQUIRED FOR A NFZ(S); OR ELSE MAKE SIGNIFICANT FORCE DIVERSION(S) FROM OTHER REGIONS E.G. AFPAK.

SUB-IOW > EXPANDED OR NO MAJOR USDOD BUDGET CUTS FOR US AIRPOWER THIS YEAR = INDEFINITELY?

* ION NEWS KERALA > MUAMMAR GADDAFI'S SON [Saadi[ WARNS OF CIVIL WAR IFF HIS FATHER [Big Daddy-o] LOSES CONTROL | ...REBELS REJECT TALKS OFFER.

* INDIAN EXPRESS > REPORT: GADDAFI WANTS IMMUNITY [prosecution from War Crimes = Crimes agz Humanity, etc.], CASH FROM REBELS TO QUIT LIBYA.
