Remember that Iraqi journalist...


...who threw his shoes at President Bush during that press conference?

Not only was he arrested but he claims he suffered physical abuse in prison, including electric shocks and simulated drowning. (Imagine how bad an American prison would be and then multiply it by ten.)

Sounds like enough excitement for one life, doesn't it?

And that was after he'd been kidnapped in 2007 and held for three days by Shiite Muslim gunmen.


And before he had a shoe thrown at him! "He stole my technique," the journalist said afterward.

Now the guy has been arrested again, this time for supporting Egypt-style protests in Baghdad.

What's next for this poor guy, having Shiite Muslim gunmen throw shoes at him in jail?
