From the Time.Com website:


"The interrogators also asked Saddam if he knew about the location of
Captain Scott Speicher, a U.S. pilot who went missing during the first
Gulf
War. "No," replied the former Iraqi president, "we have never kept any
prisoners. I have never known what happened."

Whaddya think? Is he telling the truth?

Without applying the electrodes, you'll never really know.

Electrodes never really do the trick. Eventually, the person will say
whatever you want them to say just to stop the pain.

Speicher update
One of the first questions put to Saddam was whether he had any
information on the fate of U.S. Navy pilot Capt. Michael Scott
Speicher. The initial answer from the dictator was that he knew
nothing about the missing pilot, whose F-18 was shot down over Iraq on
the first night of the 1991 Persian Gulf war. Cindy Laquidara, a
lawyer representing Capt. Speicher's family, said the Pentagon
informed her Monday about Saddam's remark. "It was a preliminary
interview, cold, and I would not have expected any other answer than
that," she said. "[Saddam] was hardly going to admit to a war crime,
without even attempting to get something in return." Mrs. Laquidara
said the special group in Iraq that is searching for the pilot has
made some progress in getting information from Iraqis. She said she
believes that some of the Iraqis being held by coalition forces have
information about Capt. Speicher. The Navy initially listed Capt.
Speicher as killed in action but then changed his status twice, most
recently to missing in action, based on numerous intelligence reports
that Iraq was holding an American pilot in captivity.
