THE TIMES: Galloway denies receiving £370,000 Iraq oil payments
The Times (UK) ^ | 4/22/03 | Melissa Kite
...here's links to the original Telegraph story and editorial posted by MadIvan, the documents on the Telegraph site, and the Sun and Independent takes posted by Pokey78.

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.

Galloway was in Saddam's pay, say secret Iraqi documents (PACIFISTS ON SADDAM PAYROLL)
The Daily Telegraph ^ | April 22, 2003 | David Blair
George Galloway, the Labour backbencher, received money from Saddam Hussein's regime, taking a slice of oil earnings worth at least £375,000 a year, according to Iraqi intelligence documents found by The Daily Telegraph in Baghdad.

The documents, complete with scans of the letters.

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.

Galloway denies he was on Saddam's payroll after 'discovery' of secret memo
The Independent (U.K.) ^ | 04/22/03 | Chris Bunting

e.Peak (21/1/2002) news: politics: British MP speaks out on ...
... to illegally provide medicine for children in Iraq. Galloway resides
in the UK with his Palestinian wife...

Here's a brief backgrounder on Galloway: Bush and Blair: Wolves

[TigerLikesRooster]

Let the trial begin. It could be entertaining.:)

[wretchard]

The Telegraph must know that the documents, in and of themselves, do not constitute proof of Galloway's guilt. Because a conviction for libel is far easier to obtain in England that the US; because the Left will almost certainly rally unanimously behind Galloway, the Telegraph is almost certainly keeping a trump up their sleeve. The strategy is probably to force Galloway to sue; to get him on record categorically denying that he received payment before dropping the bomb. I would guess the Telegraph has Galloway's Swiss account number or other banking detail and will pin him to the wall with this.

[11th Earl of Mar]

Galloway is suing his accusers? Doesn't he remember what happened to Alger Hiss?

[Publius6961]

Galloway, 48, said he had never, to his knowledge, met an Iraqi intelligence agent, and that the reported Boxing Day encounter never took place.
...
He met Saddam in Baghdad last year.

Hmmmmm.
This is a convincing protestation of innocence?

Did what the Telegraph report actually happen?
Perhaps he should be suing the old Iraqi intelligence and foreign payments services.

That they would report payments not made would not surprise me. Sleep with dogs...

[martin gibson]

Galloway, a colourful member of parliament (MP) and one of the most outspoken critics of the war...

Whoooo-Hooooo ... nothing like 'colourful' (sic) and 'outspoken' legislators to keep things interesting...

[MizSterious]

Galloway item--FYI

[knuthom]

Remeber when it was asked in Parliament from whom they could accept an Iraqi surrender......and someone yelled out "Galloway". May not have been far off the mark.

[Shermy]

He didn't get the money...directly. It went to his "charities" from which money he got...he must of! Check accounts in his wife's or others control in Jordan and West Bank.
