It just goes to show that Americans cannot let their guard down in the Middle East (or in other parts of the world..ie Mumbai...just to name one)
Although everyone was screened before entering the room, an incident like this happened. It was obvious that the secret service agents were relaxed enough to allow this Iraqi journalist to throw BOTH "size 10" shoes. Had the shoe actually hit Bush, things would have turned quite nasty.
