Maverick British lawmaker George Galloway solicited and received nearly $600,000 in profits for himself and a charity he ran from secret deals under the Iraq oil-for-food program, Senate investigators charged yesterday.

The big question here is why isn't the Brit government taking the lead in this? He's their elected official and yet the U. S. Senate is the entity that came up with all of the facts? Why didn't investigators in Britain come up with some of this information during his civil case?
-MP George Galloway- voice cries "peace," hand in Saddam's till...--
Makes one wonder what Mr. Galloway's real name is now.
Something like Abu Mohammed Jihad, perhaps?
MooseLimb women are do not marry infidels and live for very long.
In December, Mr Galloway won £150,000 [$280,000 USD] in libel damages from the Daily Telegraph over its separate claims he had received money from Saddam's regime. The paper is currently awaiting the result of its appeal against that ruling.
[Obviously, the case is still to be settled. As for the information, the British press hasn't said too much.]
Because Galloway wasn't the only one.
They won't be married soon:

Like most Scots, Mr Galloway is very left wing, bordering on Trotskyite, but has said today that if the Senate require him,he will be on the first plane over to the US to answer charges. I suspect that if the 'evidence' the senate has uncovered is as good as the WMD 'evidence' he has little to fear.
At a guess, because Galloway was a long term Labour MP and as such knows were at least some of the bodies are buried. If you were Blair, would you want him to have his day in court over this?
WHAT???
Not to put too fine a point on it, that statement (in bold) is bollocks. Where do you get this from?

In case you haven't noticed, the brits are among the Western World's most cravenly-cowardly appeasers of terrorists and kow=tow-ers to those, like the execrable Galloway, that succor and profit from terrorists.
Actually the Brits have been our best ally in the War on Terror in terms of troops and material. Blair has risked his own political future for the sake of doing the right thing. Yes, the average Brit isn't very enthusiastic about it, yet they allow their government to continue to support us. In the final measure, however, in terms of enthusiasm, the Poles beat everyone, hands down. ;)
Maybe he meant the Scottish National Party, who were so left wing in their nuclear freeze days, they made Neil Kinnock look like Thatcher.
Next time he's here visiting Hanoi Jane, he'll get free room and board.
So who are you going to believe......
Mr Galloway or Mr Aziz?
Where's Baghdad Bob when you need him?
Hey thats right !!!
While thousands of French soldiers put their lives ont the line in Iraq, the British soldiers stay at home and do nothing !!!
Or maybe not, and you are talking out of your ass.
Yes, the SNP has always been more lefty than nationalist. And Scotland certainly has its share of trots and similar trash. I was just taking issue with the "most Scots" bit.
Muslim women are not to marry non-muslim men at all (even if they convert). Muslim men are permitted to marry a non-muslim woman, if she converts. So say the Imam at Ask the Imam.
Yes, we wouldn't want to tar all of our Hibernian brothers with the same left wing brush.
After all, Caledonia gave the world Adam Smith.
You mean the WMD evidence from Clinton? Or, Britain? Or the UN? Can't you be more specific?
Are you Moby?
