Galloway speaks to the media after arriving Monday at Dulles International Airport outside Washington.
(CNN) -- British Parliament member George Galloway will face his accusers when he testifies Tuesday before a U.S. Senate panel probing the U.N. oil-for-food program in Iraq.
Galloway is due to appear before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which stated in a report last week that deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein granted him vouchers for 20 million barrels of oil between 2000 and 2003.

Galloway is scheduled to appear late Tuesday morning in Washington as the final witness in a hearing that begins at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Galloway, 51, who met with Saddam several times in the 1990s, has been a leading critic of British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his alliance with U.S. President George Bush in the war with Iraq. He was re-elected on an anti-war platform earlier this month.
**SNIP**
A new report from Democrats on the Senate subcommittee concludes the United States ended up with a majority of the oil lifted from Iraq after vendors paid illicit surcharges of 10 cents to 30 cents a barrel to Saddam.
**SNIP**
The Democratic report found Bayoil shipped a lot of oil allocated to a company called Italtech run by Augusto Giangrandi, a sometime Florida resident with dual Chilean-Italian citizenship.

It was my firwall that was blocking it

Sounds like Levin is defending the UN and blaming the Oil Companies
Kewl .. thanks for the heads up
Your firewall?
I think I am having trouble with mine! I can't get to my own web site to upload some graphics for FR using IE or WS_FTP! And I don't know how to fix it!
I am the dunce now because I can't get the links to work.
Will keep trying.
Levin can get away with saying whatever he wants. The people of Michigan..err..Detroit...keep re-electing the old turd.
I'm from Michigan, I'm only 24 and even I've been trying to remove this waste of space from the Senate for 10 years now.
Tomorrow? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.........I'll never be ready to go!
If you are using Real Player, go to Tools, Preferences and "do something" to the Connections tab.......LOL.
Try testing your connection, or maybe Mo1 can tell you how to adjust your firewall.
UNDERTAKER
Reid up on C-SPAN2
Saw where some Sen. Dems are blaming the US for the program screw ups. Wonder if they will scrutinize the program under Clinton's watch?
I don't know how to adjust
I just turned it off and it worked .... *L*
I think I blocked Real Player .. I'll have to see if that is it
Saying what? (I can't have the tv for another 10 minutes).
Reid, of course, is up talking about judges......
Reid: " PROCEDURAL GIMMICKS LIKE THE FILIBUSTER" X3
Reid says............. the filibuster in not a "Senate gimmick"....
Reid stopped in the gym this morning by a (unnamed) Repub. House memeber who's praying for Reid.
Aw geeeeeeeez, Reid continues with the whining. 5 minutes to go before I have the TV.
Thanks for the information.
