What happened to the man who excited the world by throwing a shoe at Bush?

[Gandalf]

I was surprised it was so brutal. I mean, there is keeping somebody in custody and then there is state sponsored bullying. Kicking in someones teeth and then beating them black and blue is the kind of thing Saddam would do. They would likely have killed him had there been no focus upon him at the time.

I'm glad he is okay now though and it's great to see him being able to say in his own words precisely what happened. He was obviously very angry having seen a lot of the devastation up close. Throwing a pair of shoes was perhaps one of the nicer ways of dealing with invasion and mass slaughter. I would imagine the vast majority of people would like the opportunity to throw a pair of shoes at the head of George Bush.

Doubt any of that is actually true. This fella is no doubt a saddam hussein fan that likes to repress women and children

If they did manage to give him a good hiding then well done to the iraqi authoritys. George Bush has done an amazing thing for there ungreatful country and deserves all the credit for it!
