Protester throws shoe at former Pentagon adviser
Howard Dean, the newly minted leader of the Democratic Party, and former Pentagon adviser Richard Perle made clear their opposing views on the war in Iraq during a debate marred by a protester who tossed a shoe at Perle.
Perle had just started his comments Thursday when a protester threw a shoe at him before being dragged away, screaming, "Liar! Liar!"
Perle, who was Defence Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's top policy adviser, was a key architect of the US-led invasion of Iraq, and Dean is among the war's most prominent opponents.
