Not As Breathlessly Anticipated As OJ's
In an AP photo from his salad days, Saddam Hussein (looking a lot like Denver's own Craig Silverman) on October 30, 1997 holds up a rifle (an English SMLE (Short Magazine Lee Enfield) Mark 3, in .303, the gun the Brits used during WWII). He's also wearing what appears to be a sleeveless, Carolina blue, leisure suit. Hanging may be too good for the guy.
His trial for war crimes/mass murder regarding a 1982 massacre starts tomorrow (although his lawyer wants to postpone it for 3 months). What I want to know is why this is getting little to no press. Is it because the trial of Saddam would be a reminder of another Bush success? Just asking.

I've always that that the resemblance is uncanny. The big difference is that Saddam hasn't had his teeth whitened.
Good point. I see in Craig's bio that he is involved in some sort of anti-gun organization. So I guess, if their mouths are closed, the best way to tell the difference is if the guy in the photo is holding a gun, it's Saddam.
