wanting to read y'all's reactions to the Saddam walking around town

That is NOT Saddam. In my mind, there are at least TWO Saddams we've seen since March 19th - the one on the first night in the thick glasses is the same as the one in the crowd yesterday. I can't really explain it, but I get this feeling he looks somehow like Howdy Doody - something about the high cheeks and facial expressions...especially when he smiles. That guy's an actor, not a dictator. Other appearances have been recycled tapes of the real Saddam.

Re: Saddam (or whoever) on video - CNN had the word "Live" in the corner during the daylight shot. However, at the time, it was night in Baghdad. I took it as bogus as well.
