BAGHDAD (Reuters) - American soldiers handcuffed and firmly wrapped masking tape around an Iraqi man's mouth after they arrested him for speaking out against occupation troops.

Asked why the man had been arrested and put into the back of a Humvee vehicle on Tahrir Square, the commanding officer told Reuters at the scene on Tuesday: "This man has been detained for making anti-coalition statements."

He refused to say what the man said.

A U.S. military spokesman said he had no immediate information on the incident.

U.S. politicians and military commanders often say they toppled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein so that Iraqis can enjoy free speech and democracy after years of iron-fisted rule.

Another U.S. soldier swore at Iraqis as he ordered them to move back. School teachers and young students looked on.

The troops had earlier closed off the sprawling square with barbed wire to search for home-made bombs, which along with rocket-propelled grenades have killed 153 American soldiers since major combat was declared over on May 1.

This will definitely spark up democracy.

Wow. What a suprise. Anyhow. When you're being fired at and expect bombs to be in an area, you might be a little on edge too when someone starts spouting off at and about you and the overall effort.

And when you're an invading force in a country that wants you to get out, you might be prone to some "terrorists" attacking you.

yep yep. I half expected this. When you think of the IQ of the average american soldier in Iraq, something like this comes as no surprise.

He should have been shot not bound and gagged.

Rest of the story:

A body cavity search later revealed a pipebomb shoved up the bound man's ass. He was planning on mooning the US troops and then detonating the device."

In Texas, they would have tied him to the truck and taken him for a brisk morning drag. He got off easy.

nothing like shoving a highly explosive device up your own anus to really stick it to the man
