Repressing protestors and being corrupt, as if the West really has any problem with these things. They justify his murder by saying he was "killed by his own people" and "opposed by rebels in his own country," ignoring that these "rebels" were racists armed by NATO. It's like saying the Sandinistas were "overthrown by their own people."
EDIT: As far as I'm aware, the government accused him of having killed 10,000 people and having given viagra to African mercenaries to rape people (nothing we all find more terrifying than black people apparently; because 60's racism is trendy again). EDIT 2: Amnesty international was on the ground when these accusations were made and said to the effect of 'no they're not'.
When I first mentioned some of this stuff, he was hesitant to believe it so we googled it, and every one of the things on the list was coming up true; A Somali colleague of ours even confirmed the point number 12 about every Libyan citizen receiving straight to their bank a portion of every oil sale. Oh, and the last point? About the great man made river project to make water readily available throughout the desert country? NATO bombed it; there were civilians taking shelter around the (pipes?) who were killed in the bombings, and a (Libyan?) journalist confirmed this saying he was personally among the people pulling dead children out of the wreckage.
What is it the CIA accuses him of having done?
Also, tell me about the good stuff. I wanna troll libs with based gaddafi facts

Wasn't he also accused of being behind the Lockerbie bombing?
Yeah, as if the US were against terrorism.
