"Western journalists and Iraqi families looking for the remains of vanished loved ones seem to be the primary visitors so far to Iraq's political prisons and graveyards. Maybe it would be useful for the U.S. military to arrange a tour of these facilities for Tariq Aziz and other captured regime leaders while we still have the world's attention. Afterward, Mr. Aziz could sit down for a 'Nightline'-style town meeting with Iraqi citizens, explaining why the murders, torture and conspicuous consumption of Saddam and his cronies was necessary and good for Iraq. Al Jazeera could provide TV coverage. U.S. Generals Eisenhower and Patton arranged tours of Nazi death camps for Germans after World War II, and it proved a useful step on the way to Germans drawing the proper lessons from their experience." --Wall Street Journal

I've been wondering the same thing myself. It's time to get some of the Iraqi people on their own TV station to tell their stories, it could also be broadcast to the rest of the world. Time the silence was ended.
