Iraqi lawmakers argued over the jailing of a reporter who threw his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush, while protestors called for his release. Meanwhile a double bombing targeting police, killed 18 people. (Dec. 17)

1. What? The family was told to "return in 8 days" to see Zaidi?

Then at the end of the video, it was reported that Zaidi could make bail in two days.

Whatever the case, it sounds like they don't want anyone to see Zaidi in his present condition.

3. Why is it I expect this story to end with Zaidi elected President of Iraq?

He's well on his way to becoming a folk hero. Next step: form an opposition party. Then run on an anti-American platform. After winning in a landslide, he starts up a nuclear weapons program. And hilarity ensues.
