Link to the story from the Post.
The Chapter has achieved boilerplate status with the paper:

The rally was organized by the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic, a conservative group that also called for the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1998. It also led "Get Out of Cheney's House" protests, aimed at Al Gore, at the U.S. Naval Observatory during the contested 2000 presidential election. The residence of the vice president is at the observatory.

The rally was a lot of fun. The emcee kept things moving (she always does a great job) and the speakers were outstanding. Thanks, to Kristinn, Angelwood, TGSLTakoma and the many others who put this together.

As Dornan began his speech, a dissident Iraqi journalist, who said he had fled Baghdad after Hussein killed two of his brothers, ran toward the stage and threw a series of snowballs at a poster of the Iraqi president in military fatigues, knocking it over to cheers from the crowd.

What the reporter failed to note was that the poster was a target from a small arms range that had multiple holes in it made by a 1911A1 - Springfiled Armory product. In addition it revealed Saddam's thoughts "Merci - Les singes rendant, qui mangent fromage."

I leave to Little Bill or Jimmy Valentine to provide the translation.

WOW...the Washington Compost actually printed a quote from an Iraqi dissident....yeah, I broke my own boycott in the hopes of seeing some pics.

It must be really cold in h#ll today. My prayers to all who've suffered under that bloodthirsty psychopath....and for this article to be the beginning of a trend to allow the Iraqi people to be heard. Finally.

If the rabid dictator lovers of the world allow the allies to free the people of Iraq, perhaps the murders of Shalal's two brothers will not have been entirely in vain.
