what do they want to hide?

U.S. Said Delaying Saddam Interrogations

BRUSSELS, Belgium -
Iraq's justice minister on Tuesday accused the United States of trying to delay Iraqi efforts to interrogate Saddam Hussein, saying "it seems there are lots of secrets they want to hide."

But Shandal alleged that U.S. officials deliberately are trying to limit access to Saddam because they have their own secrets to protect, including funneling money and support to Iraqi leader during his rule.

"It seems there are lots of secrets they want to hide," Shandal said.

"There should be transparency and there should be frankness, but there are secrets that if revealed, won't be in the interest of many countries," he said. "Who was helping Saddam all those years?"

I guess it would look bad if it were revealed to the world how much the US did support Saddam while he was doing all the terrible things that bush has been condemning him for.
