Bush shoe-thrower 'tortured'
"Iraqi who tossed shoes due before judge; Journalist's case could head to criminal court" by Robert H. Reid, Associated Press | December 17, 2008
BAGHDAD - The Iraqi journalist who hurled his shoes at President Bush was expected to appear before a judge today in a first step of a complex legal process that could end in a criminal trial, a government official and the reporter's brother said. Muntadhar al-Zeidi has been in custody since Sunday, when he gained folk hero status across the Arab world by throwing both shoes at Bush during a news conference....
Notice how the AmeriKan MSM NEVER REPORTS VIOLENCE from Iraq anymore? All part of sending Bush away and telling us "He won Iraq." They NEVER STOPPED LYING ABOUT IT, AmeriKa!
An investigative judge will review the evidence and decide whether Zeidi should stand trial - a process that could take months....
Maitham al-Zeidi also said his brother sounded fit, despite claims by another brother that he had suffered a severe beating after being grabbed by Iraqi security at the Sunday press conference.
"Muntadhar has a broken leg, cracked ribs, some injuries under his eye, and his leg is also hurting him," Zeidi's brother Dhargham told The Associated Press....
And I certainly don't expect AP or the AmeriKan MSM to get to the bottom of that.
