The news reports that Saddam Hussein was executed at the gallows. This could very well be the case. Remember that this man had several body doubles for security reasons, seven I believe. If they release DNA evidence that the man hung was indeed Saddam and not a body double, who performs those DNA tests? Are they corruptible? Could black mail or threats of violence against family be involved? Hell, is it possible to fake a hanging? I have already heard suspicions of it being faked because the noose was not a true hangman's knot of 13 loops.
Did they actually hang Saddam Hussein? With all the different ways that such a thing could be faked and/or falsified we will never know for certain. They probably hung Saddam. It was still a faith based execution.
Of course it doesn't matter if they did it for real or faked it. Neither can be absolutely proven. Alive in captivity, hidden with a new identity, or dead at the end of a rope, the general result is the same. Some people are mad, others are elated, and my beer tastes neither better nor worse than the pitcher I had two days ago.

If you remember they took a DNA swab on TV when they captured him. So the U.S. has his DNA. I beleive that it was him, but you're right, th result is the same.
I remember the DNA swab. The very fact that they felt the need to prove it was actually Saddam with a DNA test made me suspicious of the event.
Which begs the question: What were they comparing his DNA sample to in the first place? Did he leave a bloody glove or a semen stained dress somewhere?
