Truly pathetic that you glorify the fact that someone from another country physically attacks our President. Incredible.

Dear CBS, I am disappointed that your Baghdad producer gives the reader the option to classify the attack on our President as either an ''assault'' or ''protest''. It was clearly an assault. Once again, CBS has failed as a news organization. I hope your website advertisers are ok with you losing yet another viewer because I am going elsewhere. Good-bye.

Under Saddam''s rule every adult citizen was issued a rifle, amunition and shooting lessons. Saddam openly walked the streets amongst these people for 30 years.
Saudi Arabians attacked the World Trade Towers we attacked Iraq.
Sentence first verdict later is not a policy that will empower our great nation at home or abroad.

And this is Bush''s idea of a "free and democratic" system of government? LOL... I think the judicial component needs an overhaul.

The war must be over if we are now complaining on how Iraq has justice failings, and not focusing on the American justice in Iraq.

"What other kind of system would you expect from the likes of Bush/Cheney? This is an example of what neo-cons want for the US."

Neocon reich wing nutjobs think depression, multiple wars, no jobs are success. Some of those whack jobs actually think boosh is the best president ever.

Psychotic I''d call it.

Muntader al-Zeidi, the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at President Bush, is already at a Guantamo Bay prison and is currently being waterboarded. Lovin It.

It has been learned that there has been an world-wide increase in demand for old shoes recently.

Inspired by the famous "shoe-thrower of Iraq" who dared to "bean" the Great Emperor Bush II TWICE, and who has since disappeared from the face of the earth, citizens throughout the world are sending the Bush Library in Texas their old shoes by the truckload.

It is rumored that the Great Emperor Bush II, "touched" by such generousity, plans on opening a shoe store next to his library when he retires and sell the cast-off shoes, passing them off as new!!

SIG HEIL, I SELL "SNAKE OIL" TOO!!!, BUSH!!!

the guy is probably a hero in the middle east now. an islamic patriot of sorts. somewhere, if not now then later, he is being treated as a hero. he will never want for anything.

As a form of showing Bush our displeasure of his running our country, everyone should mail him an old pair of shoes.

In Virginia someone can and has been arrested for throwing ice at a person. The law used considers ANYTHING thrown as a missile and treats the crime as an armed assault.

Good thing this reported didn''t throw his shoes at Dubya in Virginia.

kevinkkloste : You live in fairytale propaganda land talking about hypothetical suppositions. This is a real person being held and tortured right now by a puppet government of the United States. We all saw what happened on television. This is a national disgrace and an insult to everything we hold dear.

The International Red Cross must be allowed to access Muntader al-Zeidi and assess his condition. I witnessed his arrest on television and could not see where he was resisting arrest. The Bush administration and the surrogate government he appointed for Iraq must be held accountable. Over a million people have perished in Iraq without the government and his bunch of thugs being held accountable.
