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:

http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/04/22/ngall122.xml&sSheet=/news/2003/04/22/ixnewstop.html

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.

Saddam tells Galloway: ’We’ll fight to the death’
The Scotsman ^ | August 11, 2002

[Cicero]

As the saying goes, his name is mud.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Bump - for treachery, greed, and corruption unveiled for all the world to see.

[dighton]

Bookmarked. Thanks for all the work you put into it.

Here's another David Blair piece, from May of last year: Saddam's friend Galloway keeps odd company in Baghdad.

[Shermy]

Hear, hear backhoe!

[MadIvan]

David Blair is also the author of the excelllent book on Zimbabwe, Degrees in Violence. I trust him far more than I trust George Galloway.

Regards, Ivan

[backhoe]

Thanks for looking- he's very clintonian, isn't he?

[backhoe]

I really appreciate that link- it did not show up in several searches I ran!

[backhoe]

Appreciate it- than you.

[backhoe]

Ivan, thanks for that link- I have heard of the book, but did not make the connection to the writer's name...

Pic at #11 for use.

Is he saying "Peace", or auctioning himself off?

[backhoe]

Appreciate the graphics; thanks for looking.

I think it's time to bring back the tumbrels & guillotine for traitors.

What's your perception of the British response to this scandal?

[MadIvan]

My perception is that Galloway is in big trouble - on Sky News they showed a speech he gave to Saddam Hussein, saluting his bravery. Oops.

Also they showed David Blair and how he found the documents. The Telegraph's method was unimpeachable - Galloway is so done it is unbelievable.
