Get the rope.

Bump!

[dogbyte12]

Could Tony Blair politically ask dear George to get hooked up to a polygraph to save his job? Would something like that fly?

[MEG33]

I got a tree for the rope.

[MadIvan]

Treason is the one crime for which the death penalty has not been eliminated. Oops, on Galloway's part.

Ivan.........Galloway is a spy....why would they have so many higher ups tending to his every need and whim....he was their mole inside your government..

[Shermy]

The former head of Saddam's protocol says that the documents are genuine.

Sounds like Brit intel has decided to take a look at Blair's findings, and brought a prisoner by.

Are we going to hear about those other boxes???

[Dog]

Ivan what about the French and Security Council boxes..

[xm177e2]

There are two groups who may be disposed to believe in Mr Galloway's innocence. The first is the paranoid Left. Mark Seddon, the editor of Tribune and a member of Labour's National Executive, was given space in the columns of The Times yesterday to hint at dark plots: "When the Telegraph publishes the 'Galloway files', I am reminded of the Zinoviev letter."

To draw parallels between the documents found in Baghdad and the notorious forgery that helped to lose Labour the 1924 election, would be infamous if it were not so absurd. Mr Galloway may also be counting on the Islamist fundamentalists, who are apt to blame literally anything on an American-British-Zionist conspiracy.

The comparison is ludicrous because Blair is comfortably in power now--and sacking Galloway would only help his party, not hurt it.

[MadIvan]

Not yet. Apparently he's still going through the Britain boxes, and finding more on Galloway.

"Get the rope." I hope your three word analysis proves out. I understand that Galloway's district is being reduced from 10 members to 8 as a result of redistricting. Do you view as the simplest and least damaging way for Labour to dump Galloway as just seeing to it that he is no longer on the list when the reduction is made?

Latest column, now up on FR, "Who's Next?"

Latest book(let), "to Restore Trust in America."

[aristeides]

UK still has the death penalty for treason? I didn't know that. By hanging? I wonder what the European Court will have to say on the matter.

[Dog]

The suspense is killing us here.........tell him to read faster....:-)

[MadIvan]

The Tories are squaring up to use this as a stick to beat the Labour Party with, if Blair does not remove him.

Regards, Ivan

[aristeides]

Galloway is making noises about running as an independent.

[Shermy]

Cancel # 9. The official reviewing the documents was a refugee, living in London.

[Grampa Dave]

Ivan remember the stuff that was found about Russia spying on Tony and other key Brits before this recent Iraqi war?

I will bet anything that Galloway enabled the spying on Tony and others.

[MadIvan]

Galloway doesn't have sufficient access to do any spying himself, nor any of his aides. What he certainly could do, is perhaps try to influence, say, the Home Office on the application of a "refugee" (Iraqi agent). But then again, the Home Secretary, David Blunkett, has no reason to like Galloway.
