While we’ve had fun looking at the social-media mashups spun off of
theBush/shoe-throwing incident, here’s a sobering issue: The BBC
reports that the man, Muntadar al-Zaidi (pictured in a BBC photo), has
been beaten while in Iraqi custody. His brother told the British news
agency that al-Zaidi allegedly “suffered a broken arm, broken ribs and
internal bleeding.” And Arab media is airing similar reports: Raed in
the Middle reports that the station where al-Zaidi worked says his
hand was broken, and the blog “Roads to Iraq” relays a report from al-
Sharqiya TV that the man has “broken ribs and signs of tortures on his
thighs.”
Yay for freedom!
