This article discussed the profile of Saddam done by Jerrold Post, founder of the CIA's psychological profiling division. Post describes Saddam's overall physical appearance as intense, focused and that he's concentrating. When Post watched the video of Saddam after his capture, Saddam was obedient and went along with everything that was required. This side of Saddam had never been seen before yet this is the core Saddam psychologically. Just like many others something in Saddam's past made him snap and it was in a court room before a judge that transformed him and made him into a confident, out-spoken leader.
I honestly was disappointed with this article. I thought it was going to be more about figuring out the profile of Saddam. As a person you always wonder what is going through their mind that makes them do the things they do, so this topic really interested me. The way the author went about telling about the profile done on Saddam was really quite confusing. Some of the language and sentence structure was hard to follow. I wouldn't recommend reading this article if you are interested in finding out why Saddam did what he did.
