I'm quite sure he was not on drugs -- when a
guard praised Moqtada,
Saddam mocked him, and when the guard said "May
God damn you,"
Saddam
said the same to him. He also made the decision
not to wear the
hood,
but accepted the scarf around his neck in order
to keep the rope
from
cutting through his neck after the guards tipped
him off to this
possibility, so he was alert and clearly not
doped up.
In his own mind, he was about to die a martyr.
Sociopath that he was, he had a very powerful
personality that wouldn't be likely to fall apart
in the face of death. He knew this was the end,
and he was determined to do it well.
I don't think he was a sociopath, or at least not a
full-blown one.
Really? Why not? What's your take on him.
RAD kid.
