janicka, I didn't know you were interested in conspiracy ! !!
In general, I'm not. However, this one is a little too juicy to overlook. I posted my speculations about why I thought this was a conspiracy in the last thread I started about Saddam's forthcoming execution. Corvus appeared to have his doubts as well.

I've been poking around various sites, and the writers are frothing at the mouth about the Saddam video and execution. He was, after all, a CIA stooge that was used against the Iranians. Anything is possible regarding him and his alleged demise.
Post up some links! I'd love to see them.
The main problem that I see is that the pics of the body are extremely low quality and the video of the supposed execution itself is so shoddy. Seriously, the camera goes black right as he falls through the trap door and then when you see him supposedly swinging from the noose he may as well have been laying down while the camera was doing the swinging.
The conspiracy theory is wrought with problems of its own, though. The Shiites hate him, so who's to say that they'd join a conspiracy. Also, I can't tell if the insults that were exchanged were sincere or staged? I guess at the end of the day, I am not going to believe too much until some uninvolved party (like maybe the Swiss Guard) can produce a body and a corresponding DNA test.
