An Iraqi journalist didn't like the shoe throwing. The rest of his office, however?:

Most of the guys were happy and they were talking about the bravery of the journalist who threw his shoes at the American president. When I tried to explain my opinion, I was trying to tell the guys that I don't agree with the way the journalist behaved, but I was attacked by everyone. One of them said "come on Laith, Bush destroyed Iraq". Another said "he deserves more" while a third one said "he is an occupier." I tried to tell to tell they guys that this is an inslut for Maliki.

Actually, Hakim is Maliki's inslut. Riyadh Muhammad, meanwhile, interviews the brother of the journalist in question. And the real culprits fess up.
