My Comment: This particular post does not cover the usual news on our soldiers or on the wars that are being fought. But my first impression when I heard of this story is that if this had happened to Saddam Hussein .... cough cough .... we all know what would have happened to the reporter.
I guess it is a testament to how much Iraq has changed .... when a leader of state can have things thrown at him, and all that will happen to the reporter is him being detained for a day or two.
I guess this is progress.
Now .... I want to see this same reporter have the guts to do the same thing against his own Egyptian President.
