Muntadhar al-Zeidi out of jail
BAGHDAD – The Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at former President George W. Bush in protest was freed from prison on Tuesday and, unrepentant, he harshly condemned the U.S. presence in his country and accused authorities of torturing him.
Muntadhar al-Zeidi’s stunning act of protest in December made him a hero for many in and outside Iraq. It struck a chord with millions in the Arab and Muslim worlds who have been captivated and angered by daily images of destruction and grieving since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
On his first day of freedom after nine months in jail, he told NBC News that he had no regrets. “I wouldn’t hesitate to do what I’ve done, even if it means (somebody) killing me,” he said.

WHAT!?!?!?!?!!!
The Masonic Temple, also known as the CTV Temple or the MTV Temple, is a four storey building located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on the north-west corner of Davenport Road and Yonge Street.
Constructed in 1917, the cornerstone was laid November 17, 1917[1]. In the years before its sale to CTV, it had been known as the Concert Hall, and the Rockpile (a nightclub). It was home to Toronto's first Led Zeppelin concert, which took place in 1969 during the band's North American Tour. It is of historic significance and was added to the City of Toronto's Inventory of Heritage Properties in 1974 and was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1997. [2] The building has changed hands a number of times, and in 1997 was threatened with demolition. A developer had planned a new highrise residential building marketed to Asians, solely to exploit its "lucky" address of 888 Yonge Street.[citation needed]
In the 1990s, the studio was home of Open Mike with Mike Bullard and one of CTV Toronto's news bureaus, and was rented as a rehearsal venue by the Rolling Stones. In March 2006, the building became the broadcast home of the new MTV Canada.
