Well, it seems my fears were well founded. The journalist who threw the shoes has apparently had some 'accidents' in police custody.
Meanwhile, protesters in the street demand his release, and the Arab Lawyers Union is calling for the case to be tried in a different country. Curiously enough, Muntadhar al-Zeidi has been charged with "insulting a foreign leader", which apparently carries a two year jail sentence, or a small fine.
Insulting a foreign leader is a crime? What kind of a justice system does Iraq have, anyway?
