Officials also said they were receiving conflicting analysis of the identity of the man in the broadcast, noting that Hussein has long been reported to use doubles as a precaution against assassination. Technical analysts, who used digital enhancement techniques and triangulation measurements of facial proportions, assessed that the broadcast depicted the real Hussein.

But the government also consulted Parisoula Lampsos, who the Defense Department believes has passed a polygraph examination in support of her claim that she was Hussein's mistress in Iraq for many years. Lampsos has previously distinguished Hussein from his doubles in more than a dozen cases, one official said, and this time she said he was not the man in the broadcast.

I believe it was done well before last night's attacks. If he hasn't yet appeared on LIVE TV in Baghdad today, I believe he's already encountered those 72 Virginians in the afterlife.

Either we got him the other night or we get him soon. My first choice would be to capture him alive. Failing that, I hope they get some body parts or DNA to prove he is history.
