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.

Yes, but I have been listening only from another room. :)
Help! I still can't get the hearings...sight or sound. Tell me what to do...please.
Coleman starts another round, 5 min. each.
Coleman points out that those naming names like Galloway and Pascual weren't doing so to seek leniency in an investigation, but matter of fact "this is the way we did business" manner. They saw nothing wrong (and Coleman's implication, weren't seeking to "pass the buck").
HERE WE A GO GO GOGOGO
Galloway is up now!
Me neither. It's something about Real Player that always causes me grief.
Coleman is quoting Galloway's most infamous pro-Saddam quotes.
