Alamogordo, NM -- If there's a remote chance that Saddam Hussein is alive, a remote viewer in New Mexico is sure to know it.

Lyn Buchanan spent eight years as a so-called "psychic spy" for the U.S. military and CIA. One of his duties was to spy on Hussein via his mind and pick up his plans for the day.

Buchanan doesn't think the fallen dictator is evil -- just crazy. In his words, "He thought God wanted him to rule the world and couldn't understand why anyone else would question that."

Buchanan retired as a remote viewer back in 1992, but admits old habits die hard and he has spied on Hussein since the dictator went missing.

He admits he has some interesting information about Hussein's whereabouts but, as a former military man, Buchanan refuses to release it publicly until he's "called for action."

Nevertheless, Buchanan says remote viewing is a skill that can be taught and offers up some tips in a new book, "The Seventh Sense" (Paraview Pocket).
