The Washington Post has a detailed look inside Saddam's Tikrit hut. Gothamist has broken it down so you too can live like a dictator on the run, once you get a two room mud hut with rusty beds.
Clothing: Three pairs of white boxer shorts and two white sleeveless undershirts (XL and XXL) still in their plastic wrapping...(with "A row of bright blue hooks for hanging clothing; the middle one is shaped like a heart.")
Food: Walnuts, pistachios, brown eggs, cucumbers, carrots, apples, kiwis, flatbread, orange marmalade, canned meat, a jar of honey and Lipton tea; delicacies of pistachio baklava and candied figs.
Personal care: Palmolive Naturals soap, Dove moisturizing shampoo, a pot of SAJ moisturizing crème, and a stick of Lacoste deodorant "pour homme"; plus, two cans of Raid, a flyswatter, and antibiotics.
Books: Interpreting dreams book, books of Arabic poetry, Crime & Punishment
Also WP has a classic quote from one soldier about Saddam's hut: "I expected it to be neater at least." Ah, Saddam, messy, just like us.





Crime and Punishment?! Hmmmm, Saddam=Raskolnikov ... I'm sure one could come up with a ton of material on that one.
See... I too would have thought a psychotic despot would have a more compulsive approach to housekeeping as well. Glad to see I'm not the only one whose domestic illusions about Saddam were shattered. I'm definitely surprised he's no neat freak. lol
Canned meat... as in SPAM... as in Pork... Though Saddam and family hasn't really ever lived up to Muslim tenets anyway.
