George Galloway appeared at the US Senate today to give his rebuttal to the "evidence" gather by the US Senate Committe in to the Oil for Food program.
Essentially the Senate accused GG of getting barrels from SH for GG's political opposition to the Oil for Food porgram and the UN sanctions, imposed on Iraq
during the 1990's.
The evidence cited by the US Senate was a re-hash of the documents produced by the Christian Science Monitor and the documents used by the Sunday Telegragh to libel GG.
GG won a libel case against the ST in the London High Court and proved that the documents were fraudulent and the CSM publicly apologised to GG for basing it's report on fraudulent documents.
This did not prevent the US Senate from re-hashing these urban myths to try to implicate GG.
GG faced down the committee today with a clinical dissection of their allegations.
He told that chairman Norm Coleman that not only was his committees report
wrong, but that he (GG) had been found guilty on the basis of documents proven to fraudulent !
GG made this committee look very incompetent today.
This US committee also relied on the testimony of SH's deputy, who is currently held in Abu Ghuraib, to qualify it's accusation that GG was paid in oil by SH.
GG made the point that any testimony from someone residing in Abu Ghuraib couldn't be relied upon given what we all know happened (happens ?) there.
GG entered a full dossier of his speeches opposing SH, per Hansard, in to the
record of the Committee hearings.
Needless to say GG wiped the floor with the committee.
For the record, can any one of our American people here tell us who
Mr.Levin is ?
I am interested in his name and background.
He is a member of the US Senate Committee hearing conducting this enquiry.
Thanks.
