Free Muntather Al-Zaydi

He's the guy who threw shoes at Bush. Mind you, I do not approve of tossing footwear at any president. But the only harm done, it seems, was to Al-Zaydi, who appears to have undergone torture and/or very rough treatment. That's enough -- more than enough.

So go here.

Perhaps even a worse insult, he called boygeorge a "dog."
Kinda like an American calling someone a "Son of a Bitch" and meaning it.

I never understood the antipathy for dogs in Islamic culture. Of course, they think our fondness for dogs is really really weird.

Just a guess, Joe, but it may have to do with dogs do in desert climes: I would imagine their paws combined with their weight cause them to sink into the sand, and their fur makes them too hot to function in the extreme heat.

I must say, though, ol' George is pretty agile: he ducked that shoe expertly.
