U.S. military censors are vetting video and audio footage of Saddam Hussein's Baghdad trial [3], according to Variety. Some of the edited footage provided to U.S. news networks might have come from Defense Department [4] cameras, the only ones allowed to record sound. Comparisons of New York Times reporter John Burns' trial coverage and the edited footage identified some missing audio from the edited recordings; Burns, who had a translator with him in the courtroom, quoted Saddam Hussein [5] as saying, "Everyone knows that this is a theatrical comedy by Bush, the criminal, in an attempt to win the election."
