Iraq: US orders Yahoo! to cut Uday's e-mail. Saddam Hussein's son has had to change his e-mail address after Yahoo closed his e-mail account, WorldNetDaily.com has reported. The termination of the account was requested by the U.S. Treasury Department, according to a message posted by Iraq's official daily paper, Babel, published by Uday Hussein, Saddam's eldest son.

The message said the account was cancelled although the newspaper had paid for it. The note added that the newspaper might sue Yahoo over the termination of the account. Babel was suspended for a month or orders, presumably direct from Saddam, because of its habit of citing western articles about him.

E-mail Uday Hussein direct on his new e-mail account.
IT Register report, and the original WorldNetDaily report.

The horrors of Saddam's 'sadist' son

By Tom Farrey

In the history of the world, an expanse that covers Genghis Khan and Adolf Hitler and other despots both past and present, there is no shortage of absolute rulers whose human rights records compare with that of today's designated pariah, Saddam Hussein.

Since being charged with overseeing the Iraqi National Olympic Committee in 1984, Uday Hussein allegedly has made sport of imprisoning, torturing and murdering athletes.
There may never have been a sports official, though, as brutal as his son, Uday.

As president of the Iraqi National Olympic Committee, Uday allegedly tortures athletes for losing games. He sticks them in prison for days or months at a time. Has them beaten with iron bars. Caned on the soles of their feet. Chained to walls and left to stay in contorted positions for days. Dragged on pavement until their backs are bloody, then dunked in sewage to ensure the wounds become infected. If Uday stops by a player's jail cell, he might urinate on his bowed, shaven head. Just to humiliate him.
