Why Didn't Saddam Hussein Admit That He Worked for the CIA?

"By now everyone has a very good idea how quickly conspiracy theories are created, disseminated, and embraced by many in the Middle East. Among the Iraqi bloggers, Iraq Pundit has been the most tireless in debunking the myriad myths that have been passed around in the region. A year ago, he wrote about a Arabic-language book called Saddam Was Not Executed by Anis Al-Daghidi. "[Al-Daghidi] argues that not only was Saddam not executed; he was never even captured," writes Iraq Pundit. "Indeed, Saddam is alive and well in a safe place, and so are his sons Uday and Qusay. Maybe you think you saw documentary footage of the sons' corpses, but that, claims journalist Al-Daghidi, was just easy American fakery." One would not think that Waleed Rabiaa, whom I have written about before ("Whatever Happened to Waleed Rabia"), would not be as vulnerable to conspiracy theories as Al-Daghidi, but you would be wrong."
