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.

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.

Reid: "the filibuster is not a political gimmick" , now talking about a pubbie that is praying for Dusty Harry to prevail
WHAT? lol... I don't get it...lol.
Patty Murray
I guess I will monitor Dingy Harry and see what happens on the Senate.
I drove back to my house with my granddaughter because I thought SURELY the Coleman-Galloway confrontation would be on TV! Bah!
Who the heck might THAT be? The Mormons on our side wouldn't want Reid to prevail.
Let me know when Galloway gets up there...
The House member might be praying about Reid. Praying for his soul, praying that he'll see the light, praying that God sends down a lightening bolt to strike him... LOL!
Oh, Galloway shown calling Coleman "a crazed, neo-con, pro-Israel religious fundamentalist!" (From before the hearings started.)
Reid says he's not lying, (why don't I trust people that say that). A Republican Congressman is praying for Reid to prevail.
He doesn't want to embarrass the member by mentioning his name.
I'm thinking when Galloway appears all the cables WILL go to the hearing LIVE.
We'll see, but that's my guess.
It's the eeevil Grand Master Karl Rove who's behind it for Galloway, I'm sure.
I flat-out do not believe Harry Reid.
yeah , right now its round-robin opening statements ,... oil co bash fest , I don't know this speaker , meanwhile Patty is yappin' about Mt St Helens
Reid says he's not lying, (why don't I trust people that say that).
Agreed, dead giveaway of a whopper!
Yes, I am thinking that you are right anad they will go to the hearings. Fox appears to be set up to cover it.
The feed is working now...
OMGoodness. Time to fasten our seatbelts... this will be one harrowing ride.
I don't believe him either.
Name names!
well , Norm is a nice boy from Brooklyn
