Tommy Franks said this morning we have Saddam's DNA and we will use all forensic techniques available in testing the places he may have been killed by our bombs. Interviewed today, DNA lawyer and expert Barry Scheck said:

With DNA analysis capability, even the tiniest fragment of human remains can be identified, said Barry Scheck, an attorney who specializes in DNA testing.

DNA analysis can greatly simplify the identification process, Scheck said by telephone Sunday.

"It allows them to check blood stains, skin cells, sweat, saliva, pieces of clothing they find, to determine whether or not what they recover at a scene of destruction is Saddam Hussein's DNA," said Scheck. He is currently co-director of the Innocence Project, a legal clinic at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York, which seeks DNA tests to clear people wrongly convicted of crimes.

A hair can yield DNA and is particularly helpful if it contains the root, Scheck said. Tests to determine a match take as little as a day or two, he said.
