Her new marriage would be legal. She would've had a court declare him deceased before she married again...and I'm sure that's what she did.

I hate to say I don't think we'll find him alive. It's been 12 years and, in that regime, I doubt if he survived. If he had, I think they would have used him as leverage against the bombings.

God bless and keep him wherever he is.

That's my fear. I think he was alive very recently, but the regime determined that they could not afford to have him found. With the rumors that began circulating in recent years, and the inspectors running around lat Fall, Saddam probably figured he would do without one of his "trophies." I hope and pray that I am wrong on this. I have to believe that one or more of these captives from the deck of cards knows about Scott. I hope they are talking!

In the program that was on last night, it was mentioned the Speicher was declared dead in June of 1991, a few months after he went missing.

I didn't have any hope he could possibly be alive till I heard recently, and again it was mentioned in that program too, that Saddam kept an Iranian pilot captive for 17 years, and then released him, never having used him as a bargaining chip either; no one even knew he was still alive either.

Saddam just likes/liked to have complete control over people's lives, as evidenced by the type of regime he had going on there. The Iranian pilot was dead to the world, but Saddam knew he was there, much as I now hope Scott Speicher is still there after 12 years.
