I was hoping a professional would come along
to explain all of this to me. Thank you.
As far as motive, Saddam still has a lot of
money and influence. And just for fun, he (like
Hitler), had many body doubles.
Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone, but I'm 99% sure
he's dead. I just didn't like the trench coat
and the bulky fabric around the neck.
You need to read this and watch the footage on TV again...

With a blank expression, Saddam refused a black hood - but he did so with a shake of his head that seemed more distracted than defiant.
Then he appeared to agree to let one of his executioners tie a black scarf around his neck. The Times reported that his guards explained the rope could cut off his head, and offered to protect his neck with the scarf.
In the televised video, Saddam stood stoically as the noose was slipped over his head. The noose was tightened. Then the Iraqi TV footage ended.
But the camera phone video, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera and aired in full on Arabic-language Web sites, continued.
