If I'm reading it right, Coleman is threatening him with perjury, if he lied. I'd say that's getting tough.

Even if he did commit perjury (which is almost a certainty), the fact that he's a duly elected leader of the government of an ally means realistically that we could never lay a finger on the SOB.

The best that we could hope for would be an international prosecution, but that will never happen. In a more sane world, he would be prosecuted within his own country, but that's not going to happen either.

Where?

Which Government is he the elected leader of?

Americans are not subject to any international court so how could america prosecute anyone? And prosecuted for what?

And I don't like Galloway, and didn't like him years before you had even heard the name, but is no evidence, insinuation from war criminals or false evidence now enough to indict?

Sadly, he has just been to court in the UK. He took a newspaper who levelled similar allegations against him to court for libel - he won something like £150,000 in damages. I actually am starting to believe he really did have nothing to do with any oil transfers, and this whole stupid, ill thought out senate thing has completely distracted everyones eye from the real problems with George Galaway and the appeasement he stands for.
