The ‘fake mulitmillionaire sheikh’ was a master of putting his victims under the impresion that they were to benefit finacially in a handsome way from knowing him. He would slyly coax his victims into saying things that they might not have otherwise said/done, whilst they were under his coniving influence.
George galloway , who used to be a labour MP, but now represents his constituents as a ‘respect’ party MP, did a great job in exposing the exposer. the straight talking galloway is a natural orator and debator, and he has the guts to stand up against the corrupt leaders of the west.
By the way, i find it strange that he is described as ‘representing a heavily muslim area’ as this has absolutly no bearing on the story. i wonder how many times we have heard that a politician ‘represents a heavily jewish or christian area’ when talking about topics that are absolutly nothing to do with the issue.

Hear Hear Scottishfella.
FrikkenKids, since when was a bunch of corrupt politicians in Washington the end all, be all of what the truth is, especially as we see the majority of US governance as lying and corrupt, your assertation relies on the prsentation of suspect and heavily controlled evidence and if thats the best the Senate has got, then it just reaffirms what a bunch of losers they all are.

Just to let you know ... with regards the assertion made by Frikkenkids ... here’s a link, you can read what happened the last time the Yanks tried to pin that on Galloway. He’s the ONLY guy willing to stand up and tell them they’re totally full of it. Not ONE of the Yank politicians has had the guts to do so.

Just to let you know, George Galloway was found by the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations to be a profiteer from Saddam Hussein’s regime and its manipulation of the oil-for-food program.
