Citizens in Baghdad have ennobled a frogmarched Iraqi reporter for throwing
his shoes at lame duck US President George W. Bush.

Iraqi reporter Muntadhar al-Zaidi shocked the world on Sunday by hurling his
shoes at the visiting US president, who had come to the war-torn country to say
farewell

.Sitting in the third row at a press conference attended by Iraqi Prime Minister
Nuri al-Maliki, the reporter 'jumped up' and shouted "It is the farewell kiss,
you dog."
He then threw his shoes one after the other toward Bush, who was reportedly not
hurt. Bush ducked and the first shoe hit the American and Iraqi flags behind the
two leaders, while Maliki tried to block the second shoe as it flew toward Bush.

Iraqi television responded by demanding the immediate release of the al-Baghdadia correspondent and called on authorities to respect the right of the detained in exercising "freedom of expression". "Al-Baghdadia television demands that the Iraqi authorities immediately release their stringer Muntadhar al-Zaidi, in line with the democracy and freedom of expression that the American authorities promised the Iraqi people," reads a statement released by the station.
