3. Any bombshells would undermine him, too.
I don't think SH has any damaging information that the THINKING world isn't aware of. Informed people already know that the U.S. supported his rise to power, strenghthened his hand once there, supplied him with chemicals and other exotic "weapons," gave him the greenlight to invade the 22nd Province (Kuwait) as punishment for the Kwuaitis stealing Iraqi oil (via slant-drilling into the Rumallah field) and refusing to pay up for it (at a time when Iraq had spent a huge amount of money fighting the Iranians, in a war that J.Carter had urged them into entering), and other such information that SH might provide the world, would simply be labeled as lies by our vaunted liberal media.

In short, he doesn't really have any leverage to gain from information he has (or probably has in his possession/control).
