Human beings see whatever the f*** they want to see,not what is really there.
Now,Rask,honestly speaking,you wan't to tell me that if cops came to your house telling you that they have a warrant to search your house,you wouldn't stay and watch what they're doing?
You would!!
And now,your staying to watch them will imply that you're "hiding something"?
Maann!!

Of course I'd stay and watch, but I wouldn't attempt to intimidate the police or potential witnesses, to slow them down, or to hide things that they're looking for in my neigbor's place. I would try to help them out because I really do have nothing to hide, and frankly, the faster they're done, the faster I can go back to living my life.

Let's put this all in context, Iraq, or rather, Saddam Hussein's government has a history of torturing and executing political prisoners, their families, and anybody seen as a potential threat to Saddam's authority. Government monitors observing an interview would have very ominous implications to the person being interviewed as they know that disagreeing with the offical story means that they and/or their family will suffer and/or die as a consequence. And this isn't from CNN, this is from Anesty International - an organization often critical of the United States.
