Saddam Starred in Gay Porn
Films! Thursday April 10,
2003
KUWAIT CITY -- Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has been caught
with his pants down -- literally. A shocking 1968 porn film has surfaced,
in which the flamboyant strongman appears performing raunchy homosexual
acts!
The image quality of the grainy 16mm film, uncovered by
the Kuwaiti secret police, is poor -- but experts who've taken a close
look at the hairy-chested actor are "100 percent certain" it is a younger,
trimmer Saddam.
"There is no doubt in my mind that this is Saddam
-- there's no mistaking those eyes and that distinctive nose," declares
Hussein biographer Sadiq al-Sabah of Kuwait, who's seen the eye-popping
footage first-hand.
"It may be hard to believe that a man who now
leads one of the most powerful nations in the Middle East once acted in
blue movies, but to anyone familiar with how reckless and sexually
promiscuous Saddam was in his youth, this will come as no surprise. It's
also a known fact that the young, desperate soldier did anything for
money.
"Saddam appeared in as many as 85 of these films under a
variety of stage names, most frequently Omar Studdif," reveals the
researcher.
Still photographs from the sizzling XXX-rated film,
La'iba al-Waladaani (The Two Boys Played), were leaked to a Kuwait news
magazine after authorities found it amid a stash of illicit porn in the
vault of a recently deceased sheik.
Release of the pictures has
resulted in howls of protest from Baghdad.
"President Hussein is
the manliest of men. He would never behave in such a repugnant manner,"
says an Iraqi spokesman. "This is CIA propaganda."
But rumors that
Saddam appeared in gay porn films in his younger days have dogged him for
decades and almost torpedoed his political career when he was a rising
star in the ruling Baath Socialist party.
"He was able to squelch
the rumors in the past, but now it looks like the Kuwaitis have found the
smoking gun," says a State Department source.
Al-Sabah claims that
Saddam, then a struggling law student, acted in porn to make ends meet --
and because he was addicted to gay sex.
In the newly uncovered
86-minute prison flick, Saddam, then just 34, plays a naive young peasant
who is wrongly convicted and sent to jail. He is initiated into
homosexuality by a series of older and more experienced cons.
"Saddam's acting in the picture is actually quite good," al-Sabah
notes. "One scene, in which he buries his face in a pillow and cries, is
so touching you almost can forget you're watching a low-budget
sexploitation film." -- By MIKE FOSTER
