What we have here is a dumbo. Saddam is not a dumbo; in fact he is a very intelligent sociopath. Apparently his issue married a dumbo, or some recessive genes manifested themselves, or both.

People ask me why I use the terms "Organized," "Disorganized" and "Mixed" for describing criminals. The practice dates to when I first began research into the mind of the killer. Then, I noticed that the behavioralists were using psychological jargon -- "psychopaths," "antisocial," "sociopath" -- to describe basically the same person. These terms were very confusing to me as well as to others in law enforcement.

At times, I couldn't help but shake my head at some of the descriptions I heard. For example, one psychologist called Charles Manson a "psychopath." Another psychologist described him as a "paranoid schizophrenic," which is a psychotic disorder.

I never felt qualified to speak from the standpoint of a lot of doctors' degrees and that kind of education. I'm in law enforcement. With crime profiling, I never felt we were qualified to use psychological terms -- we have no business throwing diagnoses around.

Function terms

Instead of such ambiguous phrases, I decided to come up with functional terms that described the crime's appearance: Organized, Disorganized or Mixed. That appearance reflects directly on the offender.

I would say that UBL is organized. Very organized.
