This latest piece of posturing from the International Criminal Court must make it even more likely that the Qaddafi regime will try to hang on:

Muammar Gaddafi and key aides will be probed over allegations they committed crimes against humanity while fending off the uprising in Libya, the International Criminal Court’s prosecutor said on Thursday. ‘We have identified some individuals with de facto or formal authority, who have authority over the security forces,’ that have clamped down on a rebellion that started on February 15, Luis Moreno-Ocampo told journalists in The Hague. ‘They are Muammar Gaddafi, his inner circle, including some of his sons.’
Ocampo also listed individuals including the veteran Libyan leader’s head of personal security, and the head of the external security forces.

I suppose the prosecutor wanted to make a point. It’s tough luck on the Libyans though . . .
