It doesn't look as though we shaved Saddam's mustache when we shaved his beard. THAT would have been intended to humiliate

That is an excellent point. Clearly, you have a far better understanding of ME cultural norms and traditions than do the talking heads.

the reason why we dind't shave his mustache, is because we wanted him to look like the "old" Saddam.

Releasing video of the doctor going through his hair looking for lice was supposed to be humiliating, and they were right to release it. He needed to be humiliated and shamed, and that was its purpose.
