Why does US cut Sadaam's audio feed whenever he rails against us?

What the hell are they afraid of? He is an EVILDOER after all, and dissent is allowed in a Democracy. Are they afraid the mad dictator might make a little too much sense to America and the rest of the world?

4. And his claims of torture in our hands doesn't seems so

farfetched after Abu Gharib and Cheney's wish to give the CIA carte blanch to torture at whim.

3. because they can. It is that simple.

You think KGB wants people to learn about the CIA work with in the 50s and 60s? or our deals with him in the 80s? or our secret sales of arms to him to fight Iran? or our selling the helicopters and equipment to gas the Kurds? or the sharing of intel to defend against an Iraqi invasion force? or

the list gets long.

6. Exactly!

They don't want the US to be reminded how closely he worked with Poppy and Rummy and Cheney and all the oil boys!

7. For the same reason that the trial is tape delayed rather than live.

They want to control what 'Murikans hear. God forbid that any US Arabic speakers be able to listen to Hussein's testimony.
