Re: Watch out for that shoe, Mr. President!
The shoe thrower has been completely black holed for more than a month. New evidence he's been tortured.

On Thursday, Dhiyaa al-Saadi, al-Zeidi's lawyer, said he had recently seen medical records that were part of al-Zeidi's court file, which he said added credence to the journalist's claim he had been beaten and tortured after his arrest Dec. 14 by the security detail of the Iraqi prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki.
Al-Saadi said two medical reports conducted by government physicians within a week of al-Zeidi's arrest described bruising that covered the reporter's face and body, but was especially severe on his legs and arms; a missing tooth; a gash on the bridge of his nose; and what appeared to be a burn mark on his ear.
Al-Saadi said he had not been permitted to remove the records from the office of the judge investigating the case, so the existence of the documents could not be verified independently. But the account of al-Zeidi's wounds matches injuries described
