Galloway Senate testimony PDF goes AWOL: Evidence 'missing' from Committee

Galloway Senate testimony PDF goes AWOL
Evidence 'missing' from Committee website

Iain Thomson, vnunet.com 20 May 2005

The website for the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs has removed testimony from UK MP George Galloway from its website.

All other witness testimonies for the hearings on the Oil for Food scandal are available on the Committee's website in PDF form. But Galloway's testimony is the only document not on the site.

"I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him," Galloway told the Committee.

"The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns."

This is what the site says:

So much for historical documentation.

They've now added the word "written" to protect the guilty.

Why is the testimony of the other panel members provided but not Galloway's? Maybe he didn't submit a written statement, but so what? It's his testimony that should be up there.

However, he did indicate that he had submitted a dossier, and Coleman said it would be entered into the record.

GALLOWAY: ...Senator, just before you go on--I do hope that you’ll avail yourself of this dossier that I have produced. And I am really speaking through you to Senator Levin. This is what I have said about Saddam Hussein.

SEN. COLEMAN: Well, we’ll enter that into the record without objection. I have no further questions of the witness. You’re excused, Mr. Galloway.

GALLOWAY: Thank you very much.

Don't recall anyone by that name testifying. Hmm... are you SURE he came here? Gosh, can't imagine what happened, of course we've received no complaints about our investigations, all of which are transparent and totally non-partisan....
