Anything is possible...I don't believe that either. Like I said, sounds like something made up to vindicate Arab "honor." And to try to denigrate ours.

...the last is the truth / keep it simple...good point.

One more little point I thought of: what's this business about Saddam being "drugged"? I saw the films of him immediately after capture, and I've seen people who've been sedated, and Saddam did not look drugged. (Bored, maybe...but not drugged).

This claim made me think of a story sourced last week from CNN (I think) from Saddam's daughter Raghiba (who actually is not bad looking...I'd sully Arab honor again for her sake....), who claimed that her dada had been drugged because he would have gone down with guns blazing otherwise---she then claimed that he "looked drugged." She also claimed that the pictures of Saddam getting a checkup from an Army medic were broadcast in order to "demoralize the Arabs."

I rest my case, Your Honor. :)
