U.S. military and CIA officers in Iraq are receiving and trying to verify a significant increase in the number of Saddam Hussein sightings by Iraqi citizens, according to a senior administration decision maker.
"We are getting a lot of different sightings every day," the official said.
The killing of the former Iraqi president's sons, Uday and Qusay, on Tuesday reinforced the view within U.S. intelligence agencies that Hussein is alive and still in Iraq.

Just a question, does Saddam still have body doubles running around? I am not convinced Saddam is still walking the earth, but I'm also not totally convinced he's in he**, with his sons, where he belongs. Just wondering......

Just a question, does Saddam still have body doubles running around? Just a hunch here, but I am betting that all the body doubles are now clean shaven and hiding under a mattress someplace.

If I was one, honestly I'd be turning myself into protective U.S. Military custody until the real deal is either found or killed. And then go on a book tour with maybe..........Hillary!!!

Suddenly, Iraqis are seeing large stacks of $$$ flitting across the desert...MONEY changes everything. It won't happen but the best thing would be for the guy who squealed on Uday/Qesay to get his 30 million on Iraqi TV.

does Saddam still have body doubles running around? Reminds of the joke about his doubles during the lightning bombing strike where we thought we had in nailed
All doubles were placed in a room with the door locked.
They are told, I've got some good news and bad news
Good news is Saddam is alive and well after the attack
The bad news is he lost his right arm
