1. I can't say I will shed tears at his demise.
This does seem a bit excessive, though, even with his Lockerbie involvement and the mass imprisonments/torture. After all, dead is dead, no need to stoop to his level:

Footage obtained by Al Jazeera appeared to show Libyans dragging the body of their former leader through the streets.

2. I have a hard time trusting news reports, yet.
Even tho AJ seems to be fairly factual and covers much more than the USA MSM.

3. I am watching a regional news show. They are showing the
"dead bloody body" footage but not the "live guy struggling" footage. It's the same guy, though. He's dead.

They're hitting pretty much all the other bases as the AJ story, though, with emphasis on Lockerbie as there are many families in the area who lost a family member in that act of terrorism. The station says they plan on doing a biography of Himself later on today.

5. Unproved? The dead bastard acknowledged responsibility.
