As if 1 Saddam isn't enough...
[News] As if 1 Saddam isn't enough...
| QUOTE |
| BERLIN (Sept. 26) - A German television network said on Thursday it had made a scientific study of 450 photographs of Saddam Hussein in Iraq and concluded there are at least three doubles posing as the Iraqi president. The ZDF public television network, working with a German coroner, said it took the photographs and film clips of Saddam which it had in its archives and used facial recognition technology to determine that men said to be him were look-alikes. "In the film sequences since 1998 only the doubles appear," said Dieter Buhmann, a Homburg coroner. "He himself has not been seen again." But in the program, ZDF said that the original Saddam reappeared on Iraq television on Saturday. It also quoted what it said was a former Iraq intelligence official describing how he had recruited doubles for Saddam. "It was a practice started for security reasons because Saddam traveled a lot at the time and had contact with the public," said the former intelligence official, now living abroad in opposition. ZDF said in the program, and on its Web site (www.heute.t-online.de), that "a scientific investigation proved the 65-year-old ruler allows at least three doubles to replace him at official appearances." ZDF said it was difficult to tell which were the doubles and which was the real Saddam Hussein. Minor details such as the size of the ears, hands and shape of the shoulders gave the look-alikes away, ZDF said. "They have apparently undergone surgery to appear to look like the statesman," ZDF said. "The doubles have mastered Saddam's gestures and perfectly mimic Saddam, with only tiny details separating them from the real Saddam Hussein." 09/26/02 18:21 ET |

That is funny. As for your question, if the money was good or you were told your family will die if you don't you may just consider it.

I heard about this before, they say he (Sadam) forced some people to go to surgery to become his doubles if they refuse...well..we know the consequences.

So we can actually assume that if the US was to move their troops into all the major cities in Iraq and 'capture' Saddam, that it might be that they do not have the real guy? Maybe he may try the same thing as Osama and move before the troops get there?

You folks really know how to ruin my day, don't you?
I suppose we will have to revert to the tactics used by Doc Holliday in the movie "Tombstone".

No, is not an Urban Legend. Saddam did in fact had several "doubles". One of them is called Sayeed Mohsen Al-Tikriti but let's pay attention to some details:
