I think it's definately the same guy, but his appearance doesn't really confirm anything, only add to the intrigue. Is he there to see if Saddam's body comes out? Is he on a reconnasance mission looking for people helping the allies so they and their family be killed later? If he is a Baath Party insider, and the boss is dead, it is really safe for him to be standing around what one would presume to be a crowd of revenge-minded former oppressed Iraqis?
