Muntazer continues to live in fear of his life after his release by the Iraqi puppet government. He is now a national and international hero. Among the many well-wishers and gift-givers, Chavez has offered him $100,000. May George Bush (both of them) rot in hell. Link to video here
The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at George Bush has marked his release from jail by angrily defending his action and claiming he was tortured after his arrest.
Muntazer al-Zaidi's supporters and family gave him a rapturous welcome, sacrificing six sheep to mark his release and hanging laurels of flowers around his neck.
Wearing an Iraqi flag, Zaidi gave a detailed account of being tortured after his arrest, and vowed to reveal the names of senior officials in the Iraqi government and army who he said had been involved in his mistreatment.
