A sculpture of an enormous bronze-colored shoe has been erected in Iraq to honor the journalist who threw his shoes at ex-US President George W Bush.

"Since his arrest, Mr Zeidi, a TV journalist, has reportedly been beaten in custody, suffering a broken arm, broken ribs and internal bleeding.

"He has been charged with aggression against a foreign head of state, and faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted. His family denies he has done anything wrong."

Oh good lord! It was only a SHOE! It could have been worse! And, besides, Dubya ducked. So no harm, no foal!
