#1 If anything, this alleged man is getting off easy. Politics aside, he disrespected a foreign head of state, and dishonored and insulted his own nation.

I do hope the President and PM can see past the ludicrously transparent sycophantic pleading of these journalists and hold fast to their nation's laws.

#4 While the syndicate respects the Iraqi judiciary's decision and impartiality, it appeals for President Talabani and Prime Minister Maliki to show a fatherly mercy to colleague Zaydi," read a syndicate release received by Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

Talabani and Maliki "are known for sublime and noble stands marked by pardon and tolerance. Hence, the syndicate hopes the president and prime minister should reconsider the imprisonment term and release Zaydi," the syndicate added.

C'mon, boys and girls. Nobody likes a suckup. Especially one so blatant...
