Can't say I blame them, if it's true:

The body of Saddam Hussein was stabbed six times after he was executed, according to the head guard at the former president's tomb north of Baghdad, who was one of the people that helped bury the corpse.

The claim is categorically denied by the head of Saddam's tribe. The Iraqi Government similarly denies any mutilation took place after the dictator was hanged on December 30, 2006, for crimes against humanity.
