I got it signed when I was in the 75th Ranger regiment 48 hours after his capture. Upon his capture I was given 48 hours to be in Iraq to releive other personell from the Ranger Battalions so that they could go on missions with their squads. (I was Headquarters 75th Ranger Regiment.) I was a Special Operations Combat Medic and was responsible for his health and welfare working directly under a Physician. I would sit in a room with him on 8 hour shifts rotating out with other Ranger Medics. With me watching him were officers, mainly flight guys, who were responsible for taking notes on his daily activities from when he prayed to what he ate.

I have several items that could be offered for authentication: 1.) Special operations job specialty certification paperwork 2.) Proof of serving in the unit with official government forms. 3.) Deployment papers for that time frame. 4.) Can provide little known details about him and my interaction. 5.) Copy of his ekg and notes on the meds prescribed to him. 6.) Official witness statement dealing with another high ranking High Value Target/Priority Detainee that makes reference of Saddam as "Priority Prisoner Number 1" as all references were secret often being referred to over the Radio as "Elvis." 7.) Testimony of another Ranger Medic who I got Saddam to sign for him as well. These are probably the only two in existance. His being not of the "standard" Ace of Spades Card. Might be from a different country than the U.S. who pioneered the idea of the "deck of cards" which had all the highest value targets -Generals and such. His is colored. Don't know much about where he got it. 8.) Can provide digital photograph of his signature. Got ahold of a National at a MWR and he told me it reads: "My best wishes. -Saddam Hussein."
