Shoe throwin' man and zsa zsa.

A NYT article reports that Arab news media and popular outlets are showing mostly positive reactions regarding Muntader al-Zaidi's act of protest. As the Angry Arab commented yesterday, the story reports that al-Zaidi was beaten by Iraqi security officials and there's been no sight of him since the incident. story

Monday's LA Times ran a piece on Samir Geagea and former rivals' distrust of his post-prison expiation. Geagea was a Christian warlord who, among many others, tore Lebanon apart during its civil war. There is no mention if his hands are bloody from any association with the Sabra and Shatilla masacres, but he doesn't appear to any saint. Maybe a sadistic John the Baptist with an AK-47.
