"Heroic" Journalist "Muntadar al-Zeidi "tortured and beaten" in detention

"Heroic" Journalist Muntadar al-Zeidi has reportedly been beaten and tortured whilst in detention. Where does this case lead the "New" Iraqi "Democracy" into a Brave New World or back into the "dark days" we were told was the very reason we invaded?

He is no hero.

That scum-bag threw shoes at the president of another country.

How about if he threw shoes at Putin?
How about if it were Gordon brown??

Now here are real funny ones:
What about he threw shoes at President of Iran?
What about if he threw it at the president of Iraq?
What if he threw it at the PM of China?
What if he threw it a PM of India???
