Well, let's see, Editing Saddam Hussein was from a Qwest IP from the same city your edits originate from. The username was associated with Red Faction, as you are. It was used in a window of time in which you were using Wikipedia, as you nominated User:Plato at about the same time. And, furthermore, Comrade Nick has said that you were Editing Saddam Hussein.
I'm pretty well convinced by that chain of evidence. I suppose if you wanted to prove otherwise you could ask a developer to check the IP addresses to see if they match up exactly - I only know they're the same ISP and region.
But I'm not going to ask a developer to do that, because, honestly, I'm already convinced.

rather confused as to how he can "admit" to my alleged crimes. Regardless, having reviewed the history of User:Editing Saddam Hussein -- I am at a loss as to how that account envokes the negative connotations indicated in the latter half of "A sock puppet is an additional username used by a Wikipedian who posts under more than one name. While they may serve legitimate purposes, sock puppets may be sometimes also used to deceive, for example by voting more than once in a poll or otherwise creating an illusion of broader support for an idea." *Apparently you feel that the account was used to sockpuppet against your admin request -- do you have any proof of my voting more than once in RfA? I doubt you will find any evidence to support your allegation; since, I am not User:Editing Saddam Hussein nor is that my sockpuppet.
I do have to wonder how a user can "admit to" anything on another's behalf.
