Saddam's Capture

On Sunday 14th of December 2003, in what was called 'Operation Red Dawn,' after going on a year of being in Iraq, Saddam was finally captured near his home town. Or was it? How many people have actually seen Saddam?

The Theory
Saddam is no longer a treat to the western world - he is gone, all power has been removed from him. So there is no need to catch him other than to calm public histeria. Surely then the CIA could just say that they had captured Saddam, fake some photos and everyone would be happy.

The Evidence

  • Saddam has no power and therefore there is no real point spending so much time finding him
  • Surely Saddam would have taken his own life rather than face up to several hundred million westoners who put countless millions of their tax money into finding him
  • Saddam looks nothing like his old photos
  • News reports disagree about where he was actually found
  • The hole Saddam was hidden in - when a news reporter went to see it a solider told her it had been covered up. Now it is just dirt ground.
  • He was shown having a medical exam which was humiliating - this is against the Geneva convertion.
