This followed the display of empty shoes symbolizing the familes Bush's war has killed in Iraq. While this protest took place at the White House, reports emerged from Iraq that al_Zaida had been seriously injured by Secret Service and Iraq security goons. Of course, protesters in Iraq have been demanding his release all week, progressing as far as to wave shoes and throw stones at US troops!
