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.
**SNIP**
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.
**SNIP**
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.

LOL ... Levin is raising his voice now
yup , F&F is horrid , a parody of SNL parody
Levin agrees with Galloway's views about Iraq. He just wants Galloway to critize or condemn his friend (fundraiser) and co-conspirator.
Galloway just keeps repeating his "starved" a million mantra..infantacide..invoking David Bonior's words.
He will not directly answer question about whether he would be troubled by kickbacks..just says he was against Oil for Food program.
It troubles him because the man may prosecuted...He will not answer..Insufferable.
Now launching diatribe against illegal war..
True, was he granted dimplomatic immunity from prosecution?
That's about the only good thing they've said or done.
I cannot understand why they continue to cut away!
Levin up on my feed.
He starts by pinning Galloway down on whether he's saying the document is a fake.
Galloway will not call it fake but claims the information in it is wrong.
Galloway says he'll review the document if he's given "the original" in a decipherable way and he'll opine.
Yep.
BBC World is live with it (and no butting in by talking heads) at mms://mplay.donga.com/bbc (Windows Media Player)
Nonsense, he is a member of Parliment - he should respond to the point and with respect.
Now Levin lecturing Galloway on returning the dirty campaign money.
Levin wants Galloway to answer questions.....
If Mr. Curicrakts?? contributions came from the share of oil which he was able to obtain because they came from a kickback....would that trouble you.....
Galloway........"that I would fundraise from the Kings of Arabia.....whom I've opposed all my life.....I didn't ask Mr. Zurika which part of his contribution.....
Levin....you're not going to answer my question...I'll go to another......we'll return money if we find out ....YOU clearly do not ....look at the SOURCE of the money...
I can't take ED.
Thanks Meg for the update. INSUFFERABLE is the perfect descriptive.
How are you seeing or hearing this?
Everybody has cut out of it. All channels.
And they're getting worse...
At this rate, once I get my Canadian dish, I'll end up watching BBC World or CBC Newsworld over anything the US networks have to offer...
Cspan
"That's about the only good thing they've said or done.
I cannot understand why they continue to cut away!"
Me either. And Levin(?) ending with kissing his A$$ makes me piSSed!
>>The US was not trying to protect Saddam and Sons, or their so-called containment.<<
Just to clarify - I agree
I was quotuing the new report for discussion purposes, not not agreeing with it... It's nwew to me and I don't have an opinion yet.
That's it?
