Off Topic » in reply to Interesting article on Saddam

Thanks. But...

Dr Post writes "there is no evidence [Saddam] is suffering from a psychotic disorder."

Hmmm...

If I kidnapped someone, had his body chopped into peices and then returned in a bag to his family, would I be considered "psychologically in touch with reality," or would I be considered a murderous raving psychotic loon?

The article also says "there is no evidence [Saddam] is constrained by conscience." Doesn't that make him a sociopath?

Post also says Saddam's conspiracy theories "genuinely reflect his paranoid mindset."

So Post first suggests Saddam is fine upstairs, then seems to give serious evidence to the contrary.

Am I wrong?
