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.

do you think Gallows will bail?? Is he there?
Can you both see and hear this?
Yes, lots of real butter but garlic salt? I've never tried that.
Levin is up now
And I just posted that on the wrong thread
I can't keep up with all the news *L*
I am telling you, he is so anti-Semitic it isn't funny. He is maried to a Palistinian woman, and throws around terms like "Zionist", "neo-con," and "pro-Israel" as if they were epithets. He despises Coleman not only because Coleman has the goods on him, but because Coleman is a Jew.
"Try it, you'll like it." Wasn't that a sales jingle from years back?
betcha he'll just go outside on the steps and BLOW!!
His wife is about to divorce him, she's had enough of his antics. Maybe a divorce fight will reveal some interesting tidbits about where the money comes from to buy foreign villas etc.
Oh good observation, I hadn't thought about that Jewish connection regarding Coleman and Galloway. You're right, he's terribly anti-semitic.
OMGoodness. Hell hath no fury stuff. WOW! That's explosive info.
When one is guilty before a court it is the delibrateness of the procedings that makes the buttcrack sweat.
Soon to be "was" - his wife filed for divorce a few weeks ago, claiming that she'd been getting calls from other women with whom George has apparently been spending some time. Naturally, his excuse to her was that it was a plot by some mysterious intelligence agency to discredit him. Naturally. ;)
sidebar ; I had to see what Sen Bill Nelson was doin' , ...just buried Castro , with Castro's Visa Gold stickin' up outta the grave
WELL...the SHOW is JUST beginning then....if wifey is divorcing....MORE will probably be coming.....she's probably got lots of offers to talk to "others."
God........ please keep me filled in if you would. I have to work outside in the perennial acreage..... I jump into the house every now and then to see what's happening.
Bless you for caring about this! Coleman RULES!
Isn't this the guy that ran in a largely Muslim area. He won based on his hatred of George Bush?
sidebar: LOL! You're wonderfully entertaining. Thanks so much.
Ah, he's a tinfoil hat kind of guy too?
Don't they have more than just paper work on this? perhaps phone logs, bank records? Anybody know?
It's really sad to consider the potential fireworks if Paul Volker's inquiry were HALF as deliberate as this one.
Mr. Volker has not covered himself in glory on this one (does that win "understatement of the year" award?).
