Well perhaps, but bear in mind that Gaddafi's government is imploding from within and a host of new ministers have defected to Tunisia. This is the best hope of defeating him at the moment. If they think they will be prosecuted it will help to keep the regime intact. This is the dilemma, it would be justice, but not realpolitik how things often happen in practise! Look at Pinochet for example, and how Blair was sucking up to Gaddafi only a few years ago.
For the record, the British have confirmed that the Libyan foreign minister will not be immune from prosecution. Obviously he massacred the wrong people and wasn't cushy with Mrs T during his time in power. However, for the time being, I expect he will be tucked away to see if anything materialises.
