Not torture, though. If you don't live to tell about it, it isn't, you know.
My, the libs and their good terrorist buddies/buffoons miss Ole Saddam.

An Iraqi journalist who gained worldwide fame after hurling his shoes at George W. Bush today claimed he had been tortured while in prison.
Muntadhar al-Zeidi was freed to a hero's welcome after spending nine months behind bars for his extraordinary attack on the former US president.
Hundreds of people congregated to meet him, a phalanx of gun-toting men fired volleys into the air while women cried out and broke into traditional Iraqi dances.
Supporters around the world have offered him everything from a harem to a four-bedroom house while one Saudi man reportedly offered to pay $10 million for one of the shoes.
His editor Abdul Hamid al-Saij also revealed women were lining up with marriage offers.
'One Iraqi who lived in Morocco called to offer to send his daughter to be Muntadhar's wife,' he said.
'After the event, we had callers from Palestine and many women asking to marry him, but we didn't take their names.
'Many of their reactions were emotional. We will see what happens when he is freed.'
After leaving prison this morning, al-Zeidi was driven to the television station where he works, a scarf in the colours of the Iraqi flag draped around his neck.
Rather than being repentant, the outspoken television journalist immediately launched a fresh tirade against the States.
He claimed Iraqi police had subjected him to beatings, whippings and electric shocks during his first few days in custody and that he now feared for his life.
But despite all this al-Zeidi, 30, claims he has no regrets about his actions, stating while he was free his country was still captive because of the US occupation.

Good. But it obviously wasn’t done hard enough.
I guess US leftists aren’t the only ones who miss Saddam.
“An Iraqi journalist who gained worldwide fame after hurling his shoes at George W. Bush today claimed he had been tortured while in prison.”
Yep, no filet mignon.
But did he get to keep his $10 million shoe?
That’s the important issue.
It would be so fun to be on the sending end of about 150gr. of hot searing lead into this bafoon’s cranial vault, evacuating it in a pink mist.
Yeah,
And if you listen to our media us putting ladies undies on these subhumans head is as bad and Sadmans chipper shredder.
is it any wonder that folks do not read or trust our media?
He'll never get any traction with that line.
You're supposed to say it was racism.
Too bad Mr. Hero never had the nads to throw his shoes at Saddam Hussein. THAT would have been impressive. Instead, he waited until it was safe and then acted like an American liberal. Ho-hum.
How is this our problem? He wasn’t in any of our prisons where he could have been tickled with a feather.
And we all know this man is an unbiased reporter with no agenda whatsoever, right folks?
Good they should have shot the POS in the face also,, Saddam would have done something real creative too him.
He was tortured?
I scarcely give an Obama.
I presume this idiot assumed he could assault a head of state without repercussions. He must have roots in the leftist world.
And it wasn’t as painful as having underpants placed upon his head.
Gee, thanks Dad!
0bama will be on retainer as his lawyer soon enough.
At least he wasn’t put into that mummy contraption thing with spikes on the inside of it. I think one of Hussein’s sons used it on the soccer team when they lost.
I like my local ABC news, but GMA is just Obamah Propaganda.
I hope it hurt real good.
There are days when my evil SuperVillian alter ego would just rather reach into the secret stasis field TimeStop Device where I had been keeping Uday and Kusay, give them a bunch of guns, and send them back to Iraq to rule over ungrateful bastards like this guy. (”Yes!” snarls the very evil Mr. Remote, “take THAT!”) Fortunately, given the meds and time, the feeling passes.
Still better than if he’d thrown his shoes at saddam.
