Just wait until the truth comes out about France, Germany and the UN in their dealing with Iraq on Food for Oil.
Oil for Palaces.

If Turkey hadn't of screwed up and delayed our 4thID, this war would have been over even faster.
One can only imagine the data we would have found if the war had died down a week or 10 days earlier.

What a great guy this clymer has been:
Who is George Galloway? George Galloway is a British MP who speaks out harshly against U.K. foreign policy on Iraq. He has carried out several unique actions to bring worldwide public attention to the toll sanctions are taking on the people of Iraq. About two years ago Galloway, with a few colleagues, drove a red double-decker bus from Big Ben to Baghdad, stopping for speaking engagements in 11 countries en route. About a year later, he challenged the flight embargo on Iraq by commissioning a plane to fly from England to Baghdad - the only peaceful plane to fly to Iraq from England since sanctions were imposed. This made daily newspapers in many countries around the world. George is also founder of the "Mariam Appeal", an organisation that seeks to illegally provide medicine for children in Iraq. Galloway resides in the U.K. with his Palestinian wife and their two children.

I understand your caution. The Telegraph has also posted stories about Russians spying on Blair, and German passing of information to Hussein. I believe all these stories are from the same reporter.
On the other hand, it is possible that the reporter has an Iraqi contact who knew where certain files were kept. Stranger things have happened.
Galloway's finances should be easy for the UK to trace, and either prove or disprove this story.
A reporter forging something like this would take a terrific risk, since there are ways to ascertain the truth. I don't know the libel laws in the UK, but it seems to me unlikely that a newspaper would print something this bad without having the basic facts checked.

I didn't say oil from wells. I buy drip oil and motor oil in 55 Gal barrels.

Here is the account of how the reporter came upon these documents:
I'm afraid that the establishment media will simply stonewall this to death, despite the direct revelation having been made by one of its most loyal members, the Daily Telegraph. The antiwar group ANSWER has been directly financed by the Iraqi regime since its formation, in the form of "legal fees" paid by Baghdad to ANSWER's leading spokesman and organizer, former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark.
While children are in the dungeon, this piece of dirt cries, "NO WAR".
The so-called Honourable Member for Glasgow Kelvin emerged last night as the paid mouthpiece for one of the most despicable regimes of torture and mass murder in modern times.

To believe in the vast right wing conspiracy, all you have to do is believe that people of the character of Bill Clinton and Saddam Hussein are telling the truth.Perfect description of the kool aid drinkers.

Galloway resides in the U.K. with his Palestinian wife and their two children.part of his sentence for treason should be an immediate and mandatory speaking tour on his red bus, to the countries comprising the "Axis of Weasels". His theme:
LIFT THE SANCTIONS NOW!!!!!
After that, he and his wife can spend the next ten to twenty years scrubbing BLOOD from the walls of soddom's torture chambers.

Hey I read somewhere yesterday that there is discussion on making Tony Blair an honorary citizen of the United States.
It is a fitting tribute to a true friend of America.
