It's not unusual in situations like this. It is seen as letting a third party mediate or more accurately, set the ground rules.

Actually, I see this as rather progressive for Hussein.

I don't trust Sadaam and I don't trust the International Red Cross either.

by the way, where is the outrage from the international community and the red cross? this guy has been held for over 11 years, where are the folks who feel so bad about the scumballs at gitmo? want to bet the guys in gitmo are living better than this poor man has for 11 plus years? iraq only admits holding this guy after 11 years and we called him on it, we let the world watch us transport the al qaeda to gitmo on television. if we hadnt said anything, hussein wouldnt have come out and said, "oh yeah, we have your man. come talk about him"... im so sick of the apologists for the scumballs, and the hate america first, at all costs, crowd!
