Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Everywhere and nowhere, Saddam retains his grip on Baghdad's imagination: "Not many days go by in Baghdad without a claimed sighting of Saddam Hussein, recklessly turning up in close proximity to the American forces, or rallying the faithful in his old haunts, depending on who is spinning the story.
The multiplicity of sightings is all the more strange given that there was very little chance of ever seeing Saddam in the flesh while he was in power. In the run-up to the war I don't recall ever meeting anyone who could claim to have met the Iraqi leader. "
Critical looks at the forces being applied (and the people applying them) to attempt to restore order in Iraq.
