Ok, I'll ask How did they ID Saddam's sons that fast ?

I thought DNA ID took some time. If the bodies were as bad as they say- how did they ID them in a few hours ?

Not don a TFH, but being that they were "killed" before in the restaurant with Saddam a few months ago- How is this possible

1. People in the middle east have a notorious habit of rising from the dead

Started with Christ. Peculiar habit.

7. People who knew Ali whats-his-face ided him positively as well

and the guy still doesn't realize he's dead. Because he's still in hiding. Also for the 100th time the Hussein family doubles looked exactly like them, right down to dental records, if they didn't match naturally the double had to have surgery to alter them.

8. Right- the doubles

and again- Dental record analysis takes more than a few hours. I'm just wanting to know why it takes some ppl weeks to ID w/ dental records and it only took a few hours in Iraq.:shrug:
