Huntsman statement on Gaddafi death

Head of the Rocks overlook, Utah
Former ambassador to China and governor of Utah Jon Huntsman issued this statement about the death of Muammar Gaddafi.

Colonel Gaddafi's demise is positive news for freedom-loving people everywhere, but it is just one step in a long and tumultuous turnover that is coming to Northern Africa. It is my sincere wish that this news accelerates Libya's transition to a society that respects openness, democracy, and human rights. I remain firm in my belief that America can best serve our interests and that transition through non-military assistance and rebuilding our own economic core here at home.
In the interest of consistency, I used Huntsman's spelling of the dead dictator's name in this entry, while I used Rick Perry's spelling in that post.
