[B][URL=http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/218557p-187973c.html]Saddam kin wants visit [/URL][/B]
[B]By ADAM NICHOLS[/B] [B]DAILY NEWS WRITER[/B]
Saddam Hussein's daughter is begging America to help her see him - but refusing to denounce his murderous regime.
In fact, she remains proud of the tyrant and of her sadistic brothers Uday and Qusay, who died battling U.S. troops.
In an interview with journalist Daphne Barak, Raghad Hussein told her, "Tell your friends in America they should help me to see him."
Speaking like a loving daughter, she said, "I was proud of his appearance in court, how he was not scared, the way he talked. He is a brave man."
And she added her brothers "died as heroes. They fought until the last bullet. I am proud of them."
Raghad, Saddam's eldest daughter, spoke with Barak from Jordan, where she is seeking refuge.
"I am a political person," she said. "I am Saddam's daughter. My mother is Saddam's wife. I have obligations. I carry his name. Now he is relying on me, he needs my help."
But she said she needs American assistance.
"We need an American attorney," she said. "I have nothing against the American people, I know most of them did not want this war. It is your President."
Her openness, however, does not extend to American Jews. When a prominent Jewish lawyer was mentioned, she said: "You have got to understand, my father would never allow it. Never. I don't judge people, but I can't deal with Jews."
Raghad said she wanted to see her father, who is awaiting trial in an Iraqi prison, because of health concerns.
She said: "I love my father. I watched his photos when he was brought to court. He didn't look good. I need to visit.
"I am very proud to be Saddam's daughter. We support him. Many people realize by now how good he was for the country."

This news is probably let out by intelligence on purpose that Saddam is still alive and is a real Saddam himself.
But is Saddam still alive? He might have been tortured to death already like his two sons had been.

Last week, American authorities arranged a meeting of the former Iraqi dictator with his wife.
She was the first of Hussein"s relatives to meet with the ex-leader of Iraq at a new place, at the American military base in Qatar. Accompanied by Sheikh Hamad Al-Tani, Sajida Heiralla Tuffah has arrived from Syria on his private jet in the end of March.
The outcome of their meeting turned out to be quite scandalous. Sajina claims that the person she encountered was not her husband, but his double. If someone were to say for sure that it was not insinuation, it would have been easy to believe the wife with a 25-year experience. It is also possible to assume that Saddam has simply changed since the day of his sons' deaths, June 24 2003. This however is highly unlikely. In case we believe Hussein"s wife, all DNA testing of the ex-Iraqi leader should be considered a mere fake. Overall, today there remain more questions then there are answers.
