While I feel dirty being defended by NYE, the fact remains that he not only avoided as well as he could the questions asked of him by Senator Levin, he chose to attack the United States whenever he could. Basically, his defense was "but they're worser."

No, his defence was "I have no idea if my friend gave kickbacks for a very small proportion of his business deals, but how the hell does that implicate me?". Once he'd shown that there was no evidence against him, and that he'd successfully sued against others bringing the same allegation against him, he then pointed out that the US had done far worse.

The prosecutions case relied upon linking him to the French oil company that paid kickbacks. The point, as he said, was that he's never been paid a penny by any oil deal.

His finances have been investigated and are watertight, which since the US have already said the main issue is "where is the money", rules him out from receiving money illegally from an oil deal.

He answered their questions relating to him, but as he said, he can't attest to the validity of documents he's never seen before and that do not concern him.

Why does it make a difference that Levin is a democrat?

Remember kids, repeatedly making false accusations based on extremely dodgy documents against a politician is only wrong when it's a Republican being lied about.

No. Az doesn't like him because Galloway has a habit of pointing out the injustice done to the Palestinians.

Because 5th rate Yank pollies made such a piss poor job of questioning him, after farting out a load of unsubstantiated hooey about him in the world's media.


I know it may seem rare in the land of HUAC and McCarthy purges, but here in Great Britain a certain amount of corroborative evidence is usually expected before you publicly traduce someone's character- unless you happen to be a Murdoch media outlet of course.

You seem to be under the impression that I actually care one way or the other about Galloway (I've seen his kind before even here), the hearings he went to, or the committee he may or may not have emberassed (I can't be arsed to watch the testimoney). Why is that? The interest in him from certain people on this board goes beyond the current episode though.

You seem to be labouring under the erroneous impression I care about your uninformed opinion of Galloway or the hearings.
