Posted on December 5, 2009 by kwilder

KW: Sometimes when overzealous government law enforcement go too far, it becomes so comical, it is difficult to realize the travesty of justice that occurred.

Lots of news about Al-Zeidi: appeared in court, strategy set, adjourned date set

Posted on February 19, 2009 by kwilder

Good news: Al-Zeidi to have a trial on Feb 19th

Posted on February 8, 2009 by iwilder

KW: Well, it is good news, if for the trial, the Iraqi government finally allows the public a glimpse at Muntadha al-Zeidi so that the world knows he is well. Since the AP story on the subject inserts some “hot” words into their story, such as applying the word “outburst” to al-Zeidi’s action, I think […]

An AP story reports news that is a little heartening. I still have concerns with the lack of visibility of our beloved and heroic political prisoner, Muntadhar Al-Zeidi. Al-Zeidi is the journalist who threw his shoes at President Bush (and missed), while exclaiming, “This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed […]

Al-Zeidi goes from minister’s security guards to Iraqi Military Command

Posted on December 16, 2008 by iwilder

I think it is important for people to come to know journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi, speak his name, and watch what the governments of Iraq (and the United States?) have in store for him. I am grateful to the article below for showing me exactly who is keeping the man in custody.
