What I mean by "keep us guessing" is an attempt to split the difference between making the Iraqi people (both those pro-and anti Ba'ath) believe that Sadam is alive, but not prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the coalition forces have managed to kill him.
Its an attempt to get the best of both worlds.
