While this does raise some interesting questions, a lot of these bits of trivia are circumstantial at best.

I maintain my stance that no citizen outside of the highest levels of government employment will ever have all the facts necessary to make proclamations of the sort this guy seem to be fond of making.

That aside, I'll just address a couple of issues real quick:

1) The DNA testing. This guy claims that - under optimal circumstances - it would take two days for the results of a DNA test to be quantified. This is ignorant for two reasons. First, you can isolate areas of the strand to identify and therefore do so more quickly. If you have sufficient information regarding the test subject's family, race and possible genetic defects, among other things, you may be able to isolate certain traits that would be give a tentative positive. Second, this author makes the assumption that the DNA testing used by crime labs and hospitals is just as efficient as the DNA testing used by the CIA and other intelligence appartuses. Given some of the innovations used by such agencies, that is quite a large assumption.

2) The whole theory that this is a body double, which is what about half of the author's post is centered upon. As I recall, there were several independant groups who - having the same theory - used the latest in face recognition software to confirm that the man in the video tapes of a physical is indeed Sadaam Hussein. Given the liberal tendencies of the media, it is not surprising that this little tidbit was never really mentioned. I remember hearing about it on a liberal radio show at work one day back when this was going on, and surprisingly I never heard anything about on Fox News, Hannity, etc. I'll see if I can find a link and post it later.

Anyway, most of the author's trivia is nothing more than conjecture and assumption. All of it could just as easily be true as it could be false. What bothers me the most is he cites all these different sites which do nothing more than reiterate his theories without providing any further shreds of proof to sway the intelligent reader.
