If Sadaam Hussein has already been hooded when he is led to the gallows, how can we be sure it's him?

Question

According to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13163805/ Saddam will be dressed in a jumpsuit, chained, and hooded before he is led to the gallows. Considering what is all at stake, how can we be sure it is really him that is being executed, and not a surrogate that we are being told is Saddam Hussein?

Answer 1

that is a very interesting thought and i completely agree with what you are saying....i just never thought of it that way

Answer 2

A recent article stated that it has not yet been decided if Saddam Hussein will be executed at Camp Chopper, an American facility near the Baghdad Airport where he is currently being held, or if he will be executed at the Iraqi prison, where other executions have taken place.

But if he is executed at Camp Chopper, you better believe it that there will be NO doubt whatsoever that he WILL be executed, the Americans will leave nothing to doubt or error.

Answer 3

My son and I were discussing that same thing.I wouldn't put anything past this man.Hopefully there will be some kind of proof either through video or pictures to be assured the right person was punished.

Answer 4

You cannot be sure it's him. Even if he is not hooded. Remember his many alternates and look-alikes?

Answer 5

good question, even if he is not hoode, remember there are at least a dozen look a likes.

Answer 6

It is something that we will never know for sure. Conspiracires will abound and sightings will occur.

Answer 7

youre right we can't be sure. for all we know it could be a former president of the united states.

Answer 8

Well, in any casue, it would be exceeding foolish to execute him and turn him into a martyr
