My dad thought this too (that this was all a political ploy). He also doesn't think they have the real Hussain (DNA tests be damned!).

I have Yahoo has my home page, so when I open firebird, I got presented with the news. I immediately ran over to turn on CNN and Steve (ever the skeptic, I cannot understand HOW he became Christian...) says,

Him: "How do they know it's him?"
Me: "They did DNA tests. It's him."
Him: "Well, with DNA don't you have to have something to test it against?"
Me: "Yeah."
Him: "Well, where did we get his DNA from?"
Me: (blinking)
Him: "I mean, he has like 100 doubles, how do we know the DNA that they think is his is really his and not his double's DNA? What if we got his double's DNA and now we only have his double?"
Me: ".......uh....... I dunno?"
Him: (warming up to the subject) "I mean, wouldn't that be something? He didn't fight because he's NOT THE REAL ONE! He's like the one we saw after we bombed Baghdad. You know the one that we weren't sure was him or his double. What if we captured that guy?"


Yeah. Life in my apartment. Always the conundrums.
