Hopefully they can get him to talk and hopefully he knows where Saddam is, if he still "is".

We must be getting damn good intelligence for this to go on. It sounds like they captured this guy without him or his buddies even putting up a fight.

If you factor out "unnamed CIA sources", what reason does anyone have to believe that Saddam, or Osama for that matter, is alive? Occams razor still says they are dirt tenants until proven otherwise.

I think if i had been one of his doubles that i'd cut off my hair, shave my mustache, lose some weight, etc. I certainly wouldn't want to be mistaken for him by either other Iraqis or by Americans (of course the real Saddam probably did those things too).

Do you ever wonder what happened to his doubles..I'm surprised that one or more hasn't turned up yet... My guess? They knew far too much, and were therefore all treated to a bullet in the head, shredded, and scattered.

I personally believe he has already lost a lot of weight - about 98% of it all at once last March. His top tikiriti general who would like to control sunniland has a keen interest in keeping him alive in the media. No pictures, not even fake footage. Letters? C'mon. Audio? Gimme a weekend with GoldWave(tm) and I'll have a tape of Bill Clinton stumping for the Contract with America. He's dead, Jim.
