Are Chemical Ali and Saddam maternal relations? I think there might be a problem with DNA if the relationship is on the paternal side.

1. Mitochondrial (sp?) DNA is maternal only. Regular DNA from the nucleus is from both parents.

2. There is always the "Who's you daddy?" question. Knowing the mother is almost guaranteed. Knowing the father is a little less than 100%. :-). (Look up Chelsea Hubble for futher info.)

Yep, I was referring to "who's your daddy" in this case.
