but...

i am just a wee bit skeptical about this whole show.

we did not capture saddam, he was turned over to us. he was found in a "spider hole" that had no exit. he could not have escaped from where he was "put" if he wanted to. we were then informed of his whereabouts.

yet our media touted the whole "our valiant troops captured saddam" story to no end. hogwash.

during the whole trial, saddam could have sang like a canary. he could have, at the very least, been EXTREMELY embarassing for the boy king, cheney and rumsfield, and especially so for the latter two, who helped to CREATE him.

why would he not have spilled his guts? the best way to hurt the bush cabal would have been to do just that. and our media may not have reported it but it WOULD have gotten out.

unless he knew it was worth it not to.

and why do you put a thick scarf around the neck of someone who is about to be hanged?

so what if there is a little ropeburn. it's not like he, being dead, is going to give a shit. that one really puzzles me. it just doesn't wash.

and having a double take his place? there are many instances where suicider's families are offered unended care and support. why would these doubles respond any differently?

i am not saying for sure that the execution did not happen.

but given the track record of the criminals in power, and the lengths they will go to keep info from getting out, why not yet one more, elaborate show?

i suppose i will have to fall back on the "fooled me once, won't get fooled again" train of thought.

i'm just sayin'.....
