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.

This has to stop.
Coleman must tear him into shreds.
Is there a time constraint on him?
WOW - maybe he's done now.
ROFLOL!
My sentiments exactly!
Coleman calmly setting the stage.
Calm before the storm.
Unreal. I've seen liars, but this cretin is right up there with Goebels.
Coleman and the committee has got to tear this guy to shreds.
That does not count! doh!/sarc
CNN playes his speech and cut off the questiioning. there's no liberal bias here.
I'm listening to my Real Player feed which is behind but see on Fox that Coleman is up. I can't wait to hear his questions.
Now (for me) Galloway cites the Telegraph documents and I'm sure he's going to point out he won his libel suit. A suit the Telegraph is fighting back on.
I saw this Galloway on election night thumbing his nose to the BBC. What an arrogant SOB
from the lefts perspective, those were "good killings". just like the Cambodian killing fields after Vietnam fell, those killings are acceptable to the left.
Norm isn't falling for Galloway games
Galloways keeps saying he was a friend of Norms
Now Fox is interrupting!
CNN cut out???
Yeah, no bias there!!
Oh, now he's gone from "one thin dime" to "not a single penny."
Shut up FOX!!!
This Galloway goon is full of himself, ain't he?
Now, for me, Galloway cites the Christian Science Monitor, which did get forged documents.
Galloway cites "neo-con newspapers and websites of which you are such a hero, Senator"...
LOL
FNC is cutting away now too. unreal, they let this guy spout off and don't cover any rebuttal.
Is there any place else to see this in whole? Fox needs to let it place out.
