The International Criminal Court today issued arrest warrants for Col. Moammar Qaddafi, his son Saif and Libya’s intelligence chief for crimes against humanity.  They were charged with “murder” and “persecution.” 

The charges will guarantee that Qaddafi and his son won’t be able to enter into any power-sharing arrangement or other deal at the conclusion of hostilities between his forces and the opposition.
