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.

I hope the Senate report isn't mixing up documents but it looks like they are.

As noted in this article (which I see does report Galloway's "I've never seen a barrel of oil" denial), the Telegraph is appealing the libel finding because they stand by the documents.

The forged documents were a completely different set given to The Christian Science Monitor.

A US Senate committee published evidence from Iraqi documents and interviews with Iraqi officials that the former Labour MP, re-elected to Parliament for his Respect party, received allocations for millions of barrels of oil.

"Get my solicitor on the phone!" bump.

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.
