"Shoe Thrower Says He Didn’t Intend to Hurt Bush" - Where's his defense fund?
"In his first appearance since he was detained in December, Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi said today he had no intention of harming former American President George W. Bush when he threw both his shoes at him during a press conference in Baghdad.
"Instead, Mr. al-Zaidi told three judges in a Baghdad court that he was inspired because of the humiliation Iraq had faced because of the “U.S. occupation†and he “wanted to restore Iraqi pride.†He also said he had been tortured while he was in custody, an accusation the Iraqi government denies."
There ought to be a way to get a few buck to the guy.
