Libya officials: Gadhafi killed

     I thought that this article was informative and contradictive, in a good way.  The article explained how Moammar Gadhafi was captured and possibly killed in his hometown of Sirte.  During the fighting "a NATO airstrike blasted a fleeing convoy that fighters said was carrying Gadhafi."  Despite this, his death is not yet confirmed by the government.  Much of the information by witnesses suggests that he is dead, as many of them said they saw his body, yet there is still much controversy as "Libyan officials have said they believe he's hiding somewhere in the vast southwestern desert near the borders with Niger and Algeria.  I personally thought that it was a good idea to include both sides of the argument.

     By the way in which the author, Christopher Gillette, presents the article it appeared that he agrees that Gadhafi is dead.  He did so by stating the information from witnesses and such that claimed Gadhafi had been captured and killed.  Despite his viewpoint, Gillette included information in the article that suggests that Gadhafi could be alive.  This slightly confused me but I think that Gillete wanted the reader to realize that there will always be conspiracies about politicians, their deaths, and the influence of government and politics in the media.
