Some press is covering it. Al least website of Europe Daily/German Times does so. But it's mainly a UK story. Most Europeans never heard of Galloway.

I didn't heard from any journalist taking Iraqi money yet.

As much as I find it likely that these allegations are true about Galloway, until I see them confirmed by anything (like, for example, prosecution by the British government for treason) I have difficulty buying the Telegraph's story. For that reason alone, I am not surprised the "mainstream" has not picked it up. Hell, Fox'll report nearly anything once, and I have yet to see a glimmer of this story.

So Galloway may be an unknown outside of the UK...but that does not make the story have less currency, as he is still an MP, and everyone can relate to that.

Like I said, I hope it is true, and that Galloway makes his next snide interview from one of those charming English prisons.

. While affecting such public concern for peace and international law, the anti-war powers have been exposed as having acted out of self-interest of the most venal kind.
