Looks like they finally found Saddam Hussein. Here’s hoping a lot of ordinary Iraqis sleep more easily now. And here’s hoping we have enough international goodwill left that we don’t have to resort to a show trial by an American kangaroo court.

(But what I really want to know is, what happened to all those body doubles we kept hearing about?)

Comments

That isn't Sammy, it IS one of those body doubles. Sam is currently driving a taxi in Queens, under the assumed name Akhmed Bin Kelb Bin Aqatl Bush.

My first thought was to wonder if this was one of the doubles. But the US apparently did DNA tests to confirm it's really Saddam. I'm not sure what they tested it against; do they have DNA samples that they know are really from Saddam? Or maybe from his daughter, or his sons?
