FNC just showed videos of "Saddam" walking in Baghdad with a crowd of people around him. While some apparent bodyguards in plainclothes kept the people from getting too close, the uniformed bodyguards didn't seem to be looking around and trying to spot potential threats. Not very vigilant for bodyguards, IMO.

Anyway I can't believe the real Saddam, paranoid as he has always been, would be walking in public in broad daylight at this point in time.

Not good.
