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.

Because 9 times out of 10 they ARE lying.
so , ya can't make this stuff up!! Patty's long winded Mt St Helens oratory could be an analogy to much in store
Yep, and lying seems to be one of Reid's strong suits.
so is the speaker Greenblatt? or Berkovitz? or the 3rd guy?
I got it working!
I have some things to attend to but will leave it running and make notes when possible---which should be in about a half hour.
I turned her off.
I've been cleaning up my email. Since sending Voinovich an email I've been besieged with German spam messages, all from different addresses with attachments.
Coincidence?
Galloway coming up soon...
Are we trying to watch both Reid and the Galloway?
Miss Marple said she thought FNC was getting ready to cover Galloway, right?
All I know is Galloway is on the 2nd panel.
Galloway isn't on yet
Galloway is undisciplined and is obviously anti-semitic. I will bet cash money he will go off and say insulting things to Coleman.
StRaNgE doings , ... just flashed on CSPAN2 judicial nominations - tomorrow
This could get good. Maybe he will incriminate himself while testifying.
Where are you watching?
