My neighbor was telling me this afternoon that he doesn't believe it was the real Saddam who was executed. The real Saddam was whisked away to a seaside town in Morocco or Algeria where he will spend the rest of his life in annonymity.

All of these people who claim that a double was hanged in Saddam's place have yet to explain how a double would have been made to go quietly to his death without resistance, acting the part of a condemned man resigned to his fate with complete conviction right to the end.

I agree with Fuzzball that the poor video quality
lends to its believability.

My question is about the length of time from the drop
to the time they showed Saddam on the ground. Even
without a harness and only wearing a neck collar, I
believe a man could have survived this. According to
the medical report I posted in #9, death doesn't come
for quite a few minutes after the neck is snapped.

Still questioning the padded neck and the trench coat.

That reminds me of all the Hitler sightings as I was growing up, at least once a year...all from the National Enquirer of course.

Ask your neighbor, "Why?" "For what purpose?"

Does your neighbor think that a "double" sent to the gallows to be hanged will cheerfully continue the deception to the end, staying in character?
