God does have a sense of humor. Saddam in his spidey hole and Davis in his dress. lol
"I am no admirer of Jeff Davis - I am a Yankee, full of Yankee prejudices, but I think it is wicked to lie. I was with the party that captured Jeff Davis; I saw the whole transaction from the beginning. I now say that Jeff Davis did not have on at the time he was taken any such garment as is worn by women. He did have over his shoulders a water proof article of clothing, something like a havelock. He was not in the least concealed. He wore a hat and did not carry a pail, bucket or kettle of any kind. I defy any person to find a single officer or soldier who was present at the capture to say that he was disguised in woman's clothes, or that his wife acted in any way unlady-like or undignified on the occasion."

Point us to these 'reported accounts.' All the ones I've seen state that the dress is a lie. Perhaps Non would be proud of you for aiding in the Northron myth-making machine.
