'Gorgeous George' (Galloway) has his day in court

The Scotsmnan

GEORGE Galloway, the rebel MP, accepted undisclosed damages and a public apology from the Christian Science Monitor newspaper yesterday, over an article it published alleging that he took money from Saddam Hussein?s Iraqi regime.

After discovering that the Iraqi general who provided the documents may have been the source of other fakes, the paper investigated, then ran a piece in June accepting that they were forgeries and apologising to Mr Galloway. Outside court the independent MP for Glasgow Kelvin said he was "very happy" with the amount but refused to comment on estimates, other than to say it was "substantial".

Mr Galloway, an anti-war campaigner who was thrown out of the Labour Party after he likened Mr Blair and the US president, George Bush, to "wolves", is limbering up for his action against the Telegraph in November.

In a remarkably similar story, a Daily Telegraph article in April, headlined "Galloway was in Saddam?s pay, say secret Iraqi documents", reported how files suggested he took oil earnings worth £375,000 a year - allegations he vigorously denied.

Galloway is nailing these folks left and right. I wish we had someone like that here to go up against the US media and call them on their lies.

A quote from Gorgeous:

"The difference between myself and George Bush is that I am against all dictatorships, all the time"

He was a STRONG supporter of Saddam Hussein.

Galloway was one of the few who opposed Saddam in the 1980s, when the US backed him.

Looks like he's leading now . . .
