15 Years for Throwing Shoe’s!
Muntadar al-Zaidi, or the “Shoe Thrower” is still in custody and has yet to be seen publically. His brother Uday alleged Friday that his isolation indicates he was abused.
“Until now, neither an attorney nor anyone from his family has seen him and this is clear evidence that Muntadhar was under intense torture,” he said at a demonstration by about 20 family members just outside the Green Zone. “The investigation process is now under way in mysterious circumstances.”
This has become huge in Iraq, many Iraqis consider Muntadar a hero for defying George Bush so publically, they think Bush destroyed their country…A shouting match Wednesday between parliament members for and against Muntadar prompted the speaker, Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, to announce he was resigning. Mashhadani showed up at parliament Thursday to resume his speaker duties. But so many lawmakers were in protest of his outburst that the session was canceled.
Muntadar could get almost 15 years for this, he’s apoligized to the Prime Minister in a letter, in which even he said it was a “ugly act” although I don’t think Bush is aware of it, considering he himself said it was “No big deal” how could the man be prosecuted for Insulting a Foreign Leader?
