Interesting theory, but one has to make some jumps. The exact names in the email are as follows:

Mudafer	Uncle         (Paternal uncle, brother of Moffak Mustaffa Yasin)
Moffak Mustaffa Yasin (brother of Paternal Uncle)
Faras	              (son of Moffak Mustaffa Yasin)
Moyser	              (Moffak's brother)

Are Yassin and Yasin interchangeable? Nowhere is Yassin used.
And, Yassin/Yasin is a very common name.

And then there is the following early news report:

"The observers drew attention to the fact that Berg’s aunt is an American married to an Iraqi by the name of Mustafa al-Muzfar residing in the city of Mosul, in the north of Iraq, and that Berg enjoyed a very good relationship with his aunt’s husband. It is also worth pointing out that Berg was opposed to the US occupation of Iraq, a reason that would have been sufficient for the Iraqi resistance to release him if he had actually been captured by resistance men.

>>Are Yassin and Yasin interchangeable? Nowhere is Yassin used.

Yes, absolutely. They don't use English there so the number of es's varies from translation to translation. I meant to standardize all of the occurrances of Yassin with either one or two es's, but I botched it.

>>Yassin/Yasin is a very common name.

I know that, but within a single town like Mosul they feel a kinship with the same name even if they're 20 generations apart.

>>the following early news report: Berg’s aunt ...married to Mustafa al-Muzfar

Yes, I know that too. The al-Whatever names are regional(tribal) names. Sometimes they list just First and Surname, sometimes First and Tribal, and often all three. Frequently it is shortened to just first and tribal due to ignorance of the American/English reporter or editor.

In a larger town like Mozul, the al-Muzfar refers to neighborhood or 'tribe' within Mosul. So by the tribal method, the former dictator's name could have been written as Saddam Al-Tikriti because he was from Tikrit.

Even without the 'tribal' name, another possibility is the use of the mother's family name as a 'middle' name. Hence Saddam's two half brothers (with a different mother) both had a different middle name than his.

The DOD website gave a good description of Iraqi naming conventions on their joker card.
