BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein said on Wednesday he had been beaten and tortured while in U.S. custody and still had the marks on his body.

2. Think he might have gotten the dirty girls panties over the head treatment?

Other Iraqis did. I seen the pictures on CNN.

5. No - I'm sure they didn't touch him. He would be handled with kid

gloves cause they know there is a trial in his future - unlike the people who faced dogs and the like.

Nobody expected to garner any information from Saddam. He had proven to be a psychopathic genocidal liar. They likely expect him to pull out all the stops in terms of making himself into the victim. That is the pattern. To deminish what he has done to the people he hurt & destroyed & the ones he tried to destroy.

6. So the USA tortured everyone else but not him? Okay n/t

3. Clearly the U.S. does torture. And then lies about it.

Bush's reputation and ours has been shot to hell.

At this point, Saddam has more credibility with the world than Bush (or the US) does.

4. I read they muted some parts of the audio when he was speaking...

Is this true?
