al-Zaidi is being held in isolation,
drugged, and tortured.

overdose, IN custody, sounds more plausible

5. Right, only someone who's either drunk or stoned could possibly disagree with killing 90K+ Iraqis

and creating over a million Orphans and several million homeless Iraqi Refugees - Almost NONE of whome had anything even remotely to do with WMDs, fictional or otherwise.

Yeah, only someone who is either drunk or stoned could possibly disagree with the lying murderers behind those podiums.

Iraq Parliamentary Elections: Allawi Gets The Boot

If you recall, Najaf is the home base of Moktada al-Sadr, now a coalition partner in the main Shi'ite electoral slate, the United Iraqi Alliance. Also, Najaf was the scene of a military standoff in August 2004 between U.S. troops and al-Sadr's militia. As the Prime Minister at the time, Allawi, a secular Shi'ite (and ex-C.I.A. operative) stood solidly behind the U.S. effort.

It may have been because he interrupted a funeral. (In the third shot from the top, you can see a casket being led out the entrance with Allawi's contingent just beyond.) The yellow circles in the next two shots are not thought bubbles. They are evidentiary circles drawn to point out how Allawi and company were run off in a hail of shoes.

I guess Allawi's Ba'athist past doesn't make him the most popular guy in more religious Shi'ite strongholds. Many cultures have unique rituals of social denunciation. In Iraq, as I'm told, the throwing of shoes is the single worst insult that a person can make.
