Was this a secret marriage of convenience for Galloway.

A marriage that opened even more doors to get more money from various Islamofacists outside of Iraq?

Lucky him,stuck in his villa in the Algarve.

George said: "The night I saw her changed my life. I saw this beautiful young woman in the audience and made sure I was introduced to her."

Money and sex, the gangster's most potent weapons. And, if you've got one, you can easily turn it into the other.

Given the Palistinian honeypot MO, you have to wonder if there's a file on Peter Jennings out there, too.

A close friend said: "She understands him completely...

I'll bet. She knew a willing traitor when she saw one. Or she was sent by someone who knew him for what he was.

A close friend said: "She understands him completely...

Plus, she can suck an orange through a straw, I don't doubt.

"Close relative." Seems odd the article is so vague about the nature of her relationship to Arafat.

[aristeides]

Can we be sure the marriage even took place? if you wanted to claim a marriage had happened that had not, you might say that it had been secret and only witnessed by a few friends.

[aristeides]

It's a luxury villa. A bastion of true Labour principles. I wonder where in the Algarve.

[Shermy]

The purpose of the marriage is suspect. And so is the pleading statements about love, romance - like they're trying to prove something?

Also, the relationship to Arafat - frankly, why wasn't this common knowledge in the British press before? But then, maybe that's an American expectation of disclosure.

She said: "Any idiot can see this is a disgraceful smear campaign and we will fight it. My husband is an honourable man, which is why I married him."

Excerpt from a previous Mirror article: George Galloway: In from the Cold

He split from first wife Elaine Fyffe in 1987 when he admitted having "carnal knowledge" of a woman at a conference for War on Want.

His current wife is Amineh Abu-Zayadd, 35, a scientist from Jerusalem. He says he wants her to have his baby.

The biologist who works at Glasgow University, married Mr Galloway in a secret ceremony in London in February 2000.

[snip] He lists his hobbies as football, films and Cuban cigars.
