Alexandria, VA -- On the face of things, Saddam Hussein looks like a defeated man -- but that's not necessarily so according to a face reader in Alexandria, Virginia.

Rose Rosetree analyzes auras for a living and she says Hussein managed to do something unprecedented with his aura between the time he was captured and after his shave.

She says the hairy Hussein was a defeated man with a puny aura. However, post-shave photos show he has managed to increase his aura to 20 times that of a normal man.

Rosetree has been reading faces and auras for more than 20 years and says Hussein's aura switch from wimpy to warlike in a short time is something she's only seen when Clark Kent becomes Superman.

Luckily, Hussein is under tight security and probably won't get away. Still, Rosetree says Hussein's increased aura energy gives off the vibe that he'd "do everything the same if he had a chance."
