For public consumption.
He may have died of a heart attack, while telling jokes in English at which the folks were laughing. Those guys have notoriously weak hearts, and and a great sense of humor. Bottom line - we don't know what killed him.
He may have had his shoulders dislocated, and was having them popped into place when he died of old age. Nothing says his age. We don't know what condition his shoulders were in.
He suicided himself, choked to death on his own tongue instead of carrying on the conversation with his liberators.
Saddam may have done it, and these guys just found him. The supposed grins are really grimaces. Saddam was a mean man, used to hang people by their wrists in Abu Ghraib. The Americans came to prevent such abuse of Iraqis.
He may not even be dead, but the liberal press thinks it sounds better to report that. And in that case there won't be an autopsy, because he's probably alive.
I should write a conservative blog, make my fortune.
