If he screws up, Saddam will have the rest of his hair yanked out.

"Is it just me or does he seem very scared?"

He IS scared. He is an Iraqi. He is in America, and we are now effectively his enemy because he serves Saddam.

If the tables were turned, he knows he might be taken hostage, a human shield for cowardly 'leaders.'

He is a human wind-up-doll. He knows that his winder (Saddam) will soon not be able to wind him up.

And his life at that point is uncertain, much changed. He could concievably be tried for crimes against humanity.

I doubt his life is in jeopardy, if he stays out of his country. At home he could die, at the hands of Saddam or the US.

Not a wonderful position to be in. Makes you wonder what sort of person would take and keep this sh!tty job, for this sh!tty boss?
