Saddam Torture Claims.
Saddam Hussein has claimed he was tortured and beaten by US troops while in custody, a charge dismissed by the American government as "preposterous".
That may or not be the case, but the Bush line on extraordinary renditions, interrogation techniques, and all the revelations about the treatment of prisoners at the hands of their American jailers will mean that Saddam will be believed by many people around the world.
And the fact that the words of the former dictator were cut off and censored by the Americans responsible for televising the trial will only serve to deepen suspicions.
