Iraqi shoe-thrower says he was tortured in prison

Perhaps. On reading this story, something just didn't sound right. But then again, it's Iraq. I hope the media can get to the bottom of this. Maliki is claiming that the shoe-thrower sent him a letter admitting that "terrorist" asked him to the throw his shoe at Bush. Uh yeah, right. Though the letter, if it really exists, is a troubling sign in and of itself. Who writes a letter admitting guilt after their in jail in countries like Iraq? Often people who are tortured.
