Three questions on Saddam's hanging. Was it botched, one of his doubles?, What about MSS?

1. The photo of his corpse showed blood around his neck. This suggests they may have botched the execution by setting to rope length too long, so causing the skin to tear as well as the next to break.





2. When he was president of Iraq, Saddam had around 100 "doubles". How do we know that it was the real Saddam who was killed, and not one of his doubles?





3. Has anyone heard from the Iraqi information minister, Mohammed Saeed Al-Sahaf - the one who came out with those outrageous statements during the second gulf war such as "My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all" (talking about the Americans).

Three questions on Saddam's hanging. Was it botched, one of his doubles?, What about MSS?
I wasn't there so cannot say for sure,but i have 25 years experience has a crime scene investigator,the red which you see around the neck is nothing more than friction burn,there is no blood,you should deduce this conclusion without any experience in any crime field,by noting that he has a white shirt on and the top botton fastened.which brings it close to the neck,No blood present on shirt,also the angle in which the head is situated suggests a broken neck,no doubt there will be people saying he is not dead etc as time goes on,

Reply:Considering the import of this execution, I am amazed at how poor the images where. I am not looking for gore, etc, but surely the lack of clarity is playing right into the hands of the conspiracy theorists?
Reply:1. If there WAS blood around his neck, the execution is still not botched. Hanging is designed to kill, and it did so. Hanging is not designed to be the ultimate pain-free death.


2. Saddam's doubles scattered to the wind with the U.S. invasion. Most have dissappeared and the rest shaved off their mustaches and thanked Allah that that game was over! Besides, THIS defiant Saddam has been in U.S. Custody and on-trial for months and is clearly the real deal.


3. MSS remains at-large or mysteriously dead.

they might just want us to think he i sdead, to show themselves as democratic and justice ppl...


and about MMS, yeah god knows what happened to him....i hope he didnt die coz he really was funny with all his statement and was the njumber one celebrity at the time...lol
Reply:there is a possibility that one of his " double`s" was on the end of the rope he could of been switched at any time , the officials only witnessed the execution they where not in the holding cell with him 24/7 and we have to ask the question what did happen to all his double`s ? it was a well known fact that he had many of them and it was hard for people who really knew him ( including his son`s before they died ) to distinguish if it was the real Saddam or not , so what are the chances of officials recognising him at the execution ? there is many question`s without answer`s so i think that yes there is a slight possibility that it was not him on the end of the rope !
