AFP photo
Caption reads: A US soldier leads arrested 17-year-old student Khaled Salim with his hands tied behind his back towards a waiting army truck in the southern Baghdad suburb of Dura. Salim was arrested on his way to school, as a warning to others after he insulted US troops.
Yep, there's nothing like freedom of speech, as young Master Salim is finding out. It must be that kind of "freedom of speech" that the Bush administration is fond of: it's perfectly fine, as long as no one has to hear it.
(Freedom of speech hat tip to Tresy at Eschaton.)
