Bush’s humiliation in Iraq talk of the town

Bush’s humiliation in Iraq talk of the town:
Rawalpindi

The episode of hurling shoes on US President George W. Bush remained talk of the town, as people belonging to different walks of life expressed their extreme excitement over the incident and praised the ‘brave act’ of the Iraqi journalist.

‘The News’ interviewed a number of people who were all praise for Iraqi journalist Muntadar Al-Zaidi, who hurled shoes on the US president. They were sympathetic towards the Iraqi journalist and were of the view that Bush should be declared a terrorist as he killed many innocent people.

Muhammad Ikram, a professor, said: “The brave act of Iraqi journalist is really appreciable, as Bush deserved this.” He said it was the reaction of Iraqi people, as the US Army killed many innocent Muslims during Iraq war. “Although it was an act, but it truly reflects the hate of Muslims against the US president,” he said.

Naveed Ali, a government employee, said that Bush has started a war against terrorism, but he is a terrorist himself as he killed many innocent people not only in Iraq but also in Afghanistan. This is the main reason that all Muslims across the globe hate Bush and his policies. “Throwing shoes on him is the reaction of that hate and disliking,” he said.

Aftab Bibi, a housewife, said: “I really enjoyed the video clip on Geo Television of throwing shoes on the US president.”

“The US is interfering in all Muslim countries and killing innocent people. I wish the shoes should have hit Bush. The act of Iraqi journalist is good and all journalists should support him,” said Irfan Waheed, a shopkeeper.

Faheem Khan, a lawyer, said the act of Iraqi journalist is totally indecent as it was not the way to express hate. The journalist should be neutral while attending such press conferences. He said there were many other journalists who dislike US president but they didn’t react like that.

Evidence of torture used in Iraq | Special Reports | Guardian Unlimited Politics : "The Foreign Office says the 'government, including its intelligence and security agencies, never use torture for any purpose' ( MI5 and MI6 to be sued for first time over torture, September 12). The evidence in the public domain from the court martial into the death of Baha Mousa and the serious abuse of 10 other Iraqi civilians is clear in establishing this is not true. UK armed forces went into Iraq with a written policy that allowed hooding, and with a policy of training interrogators to use hooding, stressing and sleep deprivation to gain intelligence. Iraqi civilians were routinely hooded in up to three sandbags - and even old plastic cement bags. When Baha Mousa died in September 2003, partly as a result of abuse while hooded, common sense dictates that at least at that point those in positions of responsibility within the civil service and military would have acted to change the poli...
