"Psychic seeks $25 million reward for Saddam"
(((I don't think his chances are very good. I mean, we wouldn't even award money to our POWs so why would we pay this guy?)))


"Jucelino da Luz alleges that the U.S. armed forces only found Saddam based on his letters that provided his exact location, the very hole where he was hiding in Iraq. So he filed a court case to claim the reward."

The U.S. government offered the award for Saddam in July 2003 after the U.S.-led forces occupied the country. He was captured in December of the same year.

The court said Da Luz sent letters to the U.S. government from September 2001, describing Saddam's future hiding place -- a tiny cellar at a farmhouse near Tikrit. He never received a reply.

"His lawyers attest that the author has an uncommon gift of having visions of things that will come to pass. ... Via dreams, he sees situations, facts that will happen in the future," a court statement said.

1. I wonder if he saw himself.......
getting stiffed. Couldn't he see into the soul of this government? Why should he wait for a trial, can't he foresee the verdict?

I'm getting a headache.

3. Psychics always make their claims after the fact.
We note how this kook didn't come forward before the fact. That's because, like all psychics, he is a charlatan.

See Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit.
