No Regrets
(Fox News) - Despite writing a letter of apology to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the reporter who threw his shoes at President Bush during that news conference earlier this month says he is not actually sorry. Muntadhar al-Zeidi's brother Uday al-Zeidi says, "He told me that he has no regret because of what he did and that he would do it again."
He says his brother was forced to write the letter and that he has been beaten and burned with cigarettes while in custody. Meanwhile, on his Web site, Maliki says al-Zeidi was coerced by a known terrorist: "He revealed that a person provoked him to commit this act and that person is known to us for slitting throats."
His trial on charges of assaulting a foreign leader begins December 31st.

I didn't read anywhere in this news blurb that the guy was being tortured and serving a long jail sentence. His trial doesn't begin until Dec. 31st.
