Wayne Madsden has the best answer I've seen to date: "January 15, 2007 -- WMR previously reported that the Bush regime wanted Saddam Hussein hanged quickly before he could testify about his knowledge about arms deals, including weapons of mass destruction transfers, agreed to with the Reagan-Bush I administrations. Saddam also was likely aware of the extent of secret Bush arms transfers to Iran in 1980 that were treasonously carried out against President Jimmy Carter's administration. It is now reported that former Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov has a similar opinion. He said on Russian television in Moscow that Saddam was executed in an "unexpected" way so "he could not have the last word" and reveal compromising information on the relationship between the United States and his former regime. Primakov added that if Saddam "had said everything, the current US president would have been greatly embarrassed."
The execution of Saddam by Bush regime was an extreme form of witness tampering. Saddam knew enough to embarrass George W. Bush, according to former Russian Foreign Minister. It is now apparent why Saddam was interested in passing to a Western journalist incriminating documents on the Bush family he had his intelligence services amass prior to the U.S. invasion. This editor received the offer through a British interlocutor but declined for safety reasons. However, if Saddam did manage to spirit this information out of Iraq, it could still prove "embarrassing" to George H. W. Bush & Sons."
