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.
**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.

He did not kiss his ass. He did a good job.
Wow. They look the same. Guess evil does that to ya.
He didn't.
"so... we've gone from "FAKE but accurate" to "REAL but Wrong"!!! wonderful..."
Yup, that about sums it up.
I'm sure where ever he is Bill Clinton is giving Galloway is sickening thumbs up.
One poster says that Levin was raising his voice--
you say Levin was kissing his a$$--
Which was it, was Levin angry with him or kissing up to him?
Bump to link
Coleman should subpoena the records of Galloway's fancy tailor and see who paid for his suits.
Of course he didnt get a penny...he was paid in oil!
I'm watching Levin right now, he's doing ok and not letting Galloway skirt his question.
It sounded to me like Levin was losing patience with him. Much as I dislike Levin, he did ask some good questions (none of which Galloway answered).
What I witnessed was Galloway being completely gutted.
Don't be fooled by his loud and obnoxious presentation.
I'm going by #563.
Great link - thank you! Even cable TV is old media, lol.
So it would seem.
LOL
FOTFL! Of course, you're right! Slapping my head...lol.
Nope
Actually Levin was starting to lose his temper with Galloway and how the kept interrupting Levin before Levin could finish asking his question
I'd say Levin was very annoyed at Galloway
to who? the number of americans who even know anything about this level of munitia regarding this story, is probably 5%.
Is this the correct link?
