This is from that eBay ad...holy c---

Saddam Hussein was hanged in 2006 but shocking details of the former Iraqi dictator’s reign of terror are still coming to light.

Only by living as one of Saddam’s sons can you truly understand the full evil of the Hussein regime.

So says the former body double of Uday Hussein, Saddam’s eldest son and heir.

Iraqi prosecutors charged Saddam Hussein with 147 murders in a Shiite village in 1982 following an assassination attempt on his life. They wanted to keep charges
simple and hang him quickly. But others want the full extent of his crimes brought out.

Almost everyone tortured or raped is dead. Many who helped in the crimes and weren't caught are fighting now as insurgents.

The one man who really knows what happened in Saddam's day to day life is Latif Yahia who served as body double for Saddam's son, Uday. He was not called as a witness at Saddam’s trial. Here is what he would have said.

Latif Yahia had been a school classmate of the dictator’s son and looked like his twin brother. He thought he’d been forgotten. but a few years later Yahia, then an
Iraqi officer serving in the Iran-Iraq war, was suddenly summoned home to Uday’s palace in Baghdad.

In strode Uday Saddam Hussein. “I want you to be me,” the President’s son declared, “Everywhere, always. You will be my fidai, my double.”

“You will be the son of the president under my direction. You’ll have the most beautiful life on earth. Everything that’s mine will also be yours. You’re going to be my brother.”

Latif politely declined. He could not accept the task. It would be too much for him.

“What? You don’t want to be the son of Saddam Hussein,” Uday screamed. Two bodyguards seized Latif and dragged him from the room. He was blindfolded and
thrown into a car.

Latif was locked inside a psycho-torture cell. The walls, floors and lights were bright red. The cell was too small to lie down in or stand up leaving him to squat. There was no toilet or even a bucket for waste and eventually Latif was forced to lie in his own filth.

After seven days Uday came by. “Latif. How are you? You’ve changed your mind haven’t you? I’ll sic my dogs on you and have your sisters raped if you refuse again.”

Latif gave in and became Uday’s double in November of 1987.

The Iraqi dictator had several doubles. Whenever Saddam Hussein felt danger he had a double stand in. One had already been assassinated in 1984, but he had several left.

Doubles were chosen from the Hussein family, usually a cousin closely resembling the dictator. But none looked like Uday. That’s when Uday remembered his old classmate who did.

Latif Yahia was cleaned up and taken directly to Uday’s palace on the Tigris River and placed in Uday’s own room. “Uday wants it this way,” said an Iraqi Intelligence
officer. “You are now his brother.”

Recalls Latif, “They brought clean clothes daily and the best food I’ve ever eaten. The servants had to treat me as the president’s son. I felt powerful. I began to like this life.”

Latif’s first lesson was to learn how to not react in disgust or become sick at Hussein regime cruelty. He was taken to a viewing room holding thousands of videos of torture sessions.

Saddam’s son had learned the same way. “Uday told me whenever he seemed weak or squeamish as a child his father would beat him with an iron bar and then force
him to watch videos of prisoners being tortured.”

It worked. “Just wait until I become president,” Uday promised, “I’ll be crueler than my father ever was. You mark my words. You’ll yearn for the days of Saddam
Hussein.”

Yahia saw victims have their hands and feet drilled through with electric drills. He watched people suspected of bad mouthing the regime have their mouths pulled
apart until their jaws broke. He was forced to witness the torture of families: men forced to rape their wives in front of their horrified young children and saw a video of
parents screaming helplessly behind a glass wall in which they could see their naked children in a room with a bee hive, being stung hundreds of times.

Next Latif watched Uday open Olympic style games in honor of the Iraqi dictator, inspect entire Iraqi army battalions, sit at the head of parades in honor of his own birthday and wine and dine foreign diplomats and Arab leaders at million dollar diners”

Ismail al-Azami, Uday’s private hair dresser, spent hours sculpting Latif’s hair to match Uday Hussein’s. Yassem Al-Helou, Uday’s fashion advisor helped Latif choose
from amongst Uday’s thousands of Italian suits, Swiss watches, and Italian shoes. Uday changed suits four times a day.

Latif visited Uday’s garage of luxury sports cars. “Not one cost less than $100,000 US dollars. He had more than a hundred Maseratis, Ferraris, Porsches, Jaguars,

Mercedes in all models and colors.”

Uday even enacted a law prohibiting Ferrari imports so he would be the only person in Iraq to own one. Extravagant Uday had a paint shop behind his Palace Garage A lot of these cars where used to baricade the Palace And got run over by USA Tanks .But there are many other cars that belonged to the same Family all low KLM'S We are looking for all of them.Watch this spot ??
