Will the Congressional Report have any legal standing in British Courts?

Will it be used to start criminal investigations regarding Galloway and oil/food money?

What will happen if the Telegraph can oveturn the decision - can the Parliament throw Galloway out, or what happens?

[littlelilac]

Oh but the Daily Telegraph will, they are appealing the judgment against them

that will make my year if old Galloway is finally exposed once and for all and loses that lawsuit

George Galloway is a criminal who belongs in ****ing jail.

It's almost beyond belief that a politician can openly take bribes from hostile foreign powers; but that's the power of America-hating these days.

George Galloway cited in Senate report.

Thanks for the links. If the UN documents track with the documents found in the Iraqi oil ministry, the evidence will be compelling.

If Georgie is ever proved to have been on the take, will his Muslim constiutents feel like fools?

Probably not.

[MadIvan]

I am certain that Parliament will take a keen interest. Blair doesn't like Galloway at all - you can be fairly sure he'll use this information to stick the knife in.

The staff report by the Senate Permanent Sub-Committee of Investigations emphasised that its findings were based on documents that had no relation to the “seemingly forged documents” used in the Daily Telegraph piece, noting that the panel was relying on Iraqi Oil Ministry documents from 2001.

Which "seemingly forged docs" were those?

[ScaniaBoy]

Couldn't happen to a nicer man.

: )

[Killing Time]

If this does turn out to be true - bear in mind no audit trail has yet been established and the CSM docs were forgeries - it opens up the delightful possiblity of Galloway's prosecution and long term of imprisonment for perjury in respect of his testimony in the Telegraph trial.

[ScaniaBoy]

How true. I had forgotten about Jeffrey Archer.
