Bush was written against his will after he was tortured in detention, his brother said on Monday. Muntazar al-Zaidi was wrestled to the ground moments after throwing his shoes during a Dec. 14 news conference of Bush and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The investigating judge in the case acknowledged last week that al-Zaidi was beaten around the face and eyes. But the journalist’s brother Uday told The Associated Press that he visited Muntazar in jail on Sunday and saw more-severe injuries, including a missing tooth and burns on his ears made by cigarettes. Uday al-Zaidi said his brother intends to file suit related to the injuries, but did not have details on when it would be filed or who specifically it would name.
