Of course I knew about the Debka site, but that article does cause some thoughts. I have heard reports that he was "turned in" by some people close to him, relatives? If so, perhaps this was for the reward on his head, and so he might have been considered "held". If this indeed is Saddam, and I suspect it is, the guy's rhetoric didn't live up to his deeds. The Lion of Bagdad surrenders without a whimper, without a struggle, without a shot being fired without taking the poison pill. Surely he has had plenty of time to contemplate his fate, to contemplate his actions if "caught". And if this turns out not to be Saddam, the US won't be recognizable due to the large amout of egg on face.

> was his hair dyed for the occasion, or is it a wig, or is it a false beard? Seems I'm not the only one asking those questions. rense.com >>>Somehow this man, whoever he is, has carefully DYED HIS HAIR and EYEBROWS dark brown very shortly before his 'capture.' Look at the photos, there are no grey/white roots anywhere. NONE. There WOULD BE grey/white showing at the hairline within a few days after hair coloring with anyone who has mostly grey/white hair. Especially with such a vast difference between dark brown and grey/white...the contrast is enormous. Ask any woman who colors her hair dark about having to deal with grey/white roots. If this fellow had been down there for ANY length of time, there would be grey/white roots. Either it is Saddam...and they are being honest about the DNA tests (do we trust people who lied about his WMD and so many other issues?). If it is, in fact, the former President, his vanity certainly didn't help his 'old man' disguise (maybe he wore a hat when out for a stroll?). Or, he's one of the many doubles who were floated around for years and who may have been mind-washed back into grade school status - which might account for the 'disoriented' state he was said to be in when found. <<<

> What I'm wondering is whether this is the real Saddam or one of his look-alikes of which, I believe, there were three? ishipress.com >>>German scientists have established that the Saddam Hussein we see on TV is not the real Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein has at least three doubles. Are these all the same man, or all different? Is one of these men Saddam Hussein and, if so, which one? This has been established by examining small details such as the size of his ears, for example. This discovery was first reported in the German ZDF Public Television Network. ZDF said it was difficult to tell which were the doubles and which was the real Saddam Hussein. Minor details such as the size of the ears, hands and shape of the shoulders gave the lookalikes away, ZDF said. "They have apparently undergone surgery to appear to look like the statesman," ZDF said. "The doubles have mastered Saddam's gestures and perfectly mimic Saddam, with only tiny details separating them from the real Saddam Hussein."<<< And now you can decide what you think should happen to "Saddam". ishipress.com
