The Galloway affair

There is a strong case for dismissing the charges made by the Tory Daily Telegraph and others against George Galloway, of having been a bought and paid-for agent of the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq - namely, the character and bias of those baying for the blood of an MP who has been one of the most outspoken opponents of the recent US-British war with Iraq.


The Telegraph has published documents which appear to show that Galloway had been taking at least £375,000 a year from Saddam Hussein's quasi-fascist Ba'ath regime in Iraq.
