You have to say, if he gets out of this without prosecution, this was a pretty slick move. God knows how many people this guy tortured. Politically, he's too symbolic and high-valued to get what he deserves.
I'd be curious to know the role of the Libyan army in all of this. Every war image I've seen of Qaddafi troops has guys that are clearly of true African descent rather than Middle Eastern. It's pretty clear they are mercs. But that does leave the question, what are the regulars doing? I can't even imagine the choice they have to make, considering they've never had to make one before (being in such a subjugated armed force.)
