Mr. Galloway Goes to Washington

They also have testimony from imprisoned leaders. While you may not find either credible I would wager a year's salary that this particular senator (Coleman) is honest and would not invent evidence.

He does have a tendency to bring libel cases - so you never know. It would be quite a show.

"As a matter of fact I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times that (Secretary of Defense) Donald Rumsfeld met him," said the recently reelected British parliamentarian. "The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns."[^] I don't know if Mr Galloway is guilty or not, sincere or not, but he knows for sure how to use rhetoric!
Fold with us! The only thing that stops God from sending another flood is that the first one was useless.

I don't know anything about this politician, but he certainly makes a strong case. On a purely debate oriented perspective, Galloway stepped on the prosecuting Senator's balls. OTOH, not difficult to do when their hanging out there in the wind.

Senators don't prosecute, they investigate. the leader of this particular Senate investigation is a former prosecuter and was merely attempting to get Galloway's statements on the record. if can later be proven that Galloway lied (perjury) he can be tried and jailed if he's ever foolish enough to plant a foot on US soil.

I didn't hear anything that hasn't been said a thousand times before, mostly by reasonable people. To wit: 1) The documents were poorly made forgeries, 2) Everyone, including - and in this case especially - the Americans were finding ways around the sanctions, you just have to look up the quantities that were flowing out - a fool could tell you that. 3) There have been strong irregularities involving billions of dollars in oil moneys in occupied Iraq 4) Contractors in Iraq, many of them well used to suckling on the taxpayer have been having a field day, vastly overcharging everyone. If you call pointing to the obvious, perjury, well then there falls whatever is left of American judicial fairness, to be replaced with banana republic kangeroo courts. As to his guilt or innocence, well if he can find a fair court, I'll let that decide. To me it looks like he is just a guy that was caught in the crosshairs of the Neocons for double duty as scapegoat and misdirection of the day.

I'm sure Mr Blair would love to extradite his old socialist pal Mr Galloway. He committed the one unforgivable sin in the Labour party - betraying the Labour party. Ryan
O fools, awake! The rites you sacred hold Are but a cheat contrived by men of old, Who lusted after wealth and gained their lust And died in baseness—and their law is dust. al-Ma'arri (973-1057)
I thought Blair was the one who betrayed the Labour Party... :rolleyes:
