Politics Buzz The 29-year-old Iraqi reporter who threw a shoe at President Bush is now the most famous man in Iraq. So who is he? Al Zaidi is a correspondent for Al Baghdadiya, an independent Iraqi TV station, and has been detained at least twice by military forces (once by Americans) for unspecified charges.
