| Sammy isn't Sammy. He's three doubles... |

| Steve forwards me this unsurprising news. Wotta cheapjack. Binny was reputed to have ten... 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 lookalikes. "In the film sequences since 1998 only the doubles appear," said Dieter Buhmann, a Homburg coroner. "He himself has not been seen again." So he might actually have shaved his moustache, ditched the Don Corleone hat, and be living on the Costa Brava with a three or four dancing girls, whilst the iron-fisted autocracy ticks along under its own speed. Or he might be living 160 feet below the ground in a concrete bunker, fearing to venture out... What's the diffo between that and being in jug? I think if they made me dictator of Iraq, I'd resign and move to Oslo. The girls are prettier, the food's better, and I wouldn't have to live in a hole. |
