Dictator-tot allowing puppet govt to imprison demonstrator

Popular folk-hero who "showed free speech in a democracy" could face 15 years in prison for throwing shoes

Muntazer Al-Zaidi is facing charges of “aggression against a president” and could receive 15 years in prison if charged with the maximum sentence, said the spokesman for Iraq’s High Judicial Council. Zaidi appeared in court on Tuesday, where he admitted to throwing a shoe at the warmongering murderer at a press conference a few days earlier. Zaidi appeared in court with a broken arm and rib and bruises on his eyes and legs.

Uh, mission accomplitude? So what the hell were we fighting for over there, jerkoff?
