Iraqi Shoe Thrower Released
A journalist for the independent Iraqi television station, Al Baghdadia, Mr. Zaidi, 29, was attending a December press conference that President Bush was holding on his final visit to the country.
As stunned members of the White House press corps and other Iraqi journalists looked on, Mr. Zaidi rose from his seat and shouted in Arabic: “This is a gift from the Iraqis; this is the farewell kiss, you dog!”
He then whipped one of his shoes straight at Mr. Bush’s head, narrowly missing him when the president quickly ducked.
Some people are claiming he is a hero, some a common thug. His family has been offered, money, land, apartments, and a women for the incident.
