In November of 2006, Shuster interviewed Feisal Istrabadi, the [[Iraq|Iraqi ambassador]] to the [[United Nations]]. During the interview, for unexplained reason, Shuster was vehemently hostile towards Ambassador Istrabadi. At one point Shuster outright lied about when the Iraqi government had been formed, which had to be corrected by Ambassador Istrabadi.<ref>http://newsbusters.org/node/9345</ref>

In September of 2007, Shuster held another controversial interview. This time with [[Tennessee]] [[Republican Party|Republican]] congresswoman Marsha Blackburn supposedly to discuss the MoveOn.org ad that accused General [[David Petraeus]] of treason. Out of no where, Shuster asked her to name the last American soldier from her district killed in [[Iraq]]. When she couldn't, Shuster launched into a tirade in which he berated her for not knowing the name, identifying the fallen soldier by name and then claimed that she cared more about an ad than the lost serviceman. Pentagon documents later revealed that the soldier Shuster named did not come from Blackburn's district, but from a neighboring one. When a blogger sent Shuster an e-mail pointing this out, he got a reply saying name didn't matter because the story was about Blackburn's hypocrisy and besides, "she didn't know the name, period."<ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2007/09/28/shuster-shredded-tasteless-gotcha-game</ref>
