Do I smell another Jeffrey Archer style case coming along?

You never know, just because he was allocated vouchers doesn't mean he accepted them.

Just be a bit careful lads. He did win big libel damages against the Telegraph and we'd all hate Ted to be sued.

I hope it's right though because the man is a reptile.

The Iraqis certainly appear to have decided to give him options. The question is whether he accepted them, ever exercised or sold them, i.e. did he gain any benefit from them? No one seems to have put forward any evidence of that.

A truly odious man regardless of his guilt or innocence on this matter.

Simply the fact that Galloway chose Saddam as one of his friends is almost certainly going to mean that he gets tarred with all manner of brushes.

His last comment "So far I'm 1.6 million up" simply goes to prove how one way or another he is making money out of this.

Perhaps he should donate any "winnings" to the Red Crescent or the Red Cross.

I heard him on R5 a few minutes ago and he made the point that if he was trading in millions of barrels of oil and making billions the British Secret Services would be bound to know about it, and would obviously make it public. I think the man is a scumbag (at best) but this does seem ever so slightly improbable.

Not to forget that this nugget of info is from a US senate commission, which has hardly been the originator of beacons of truthfulness.

Secret Services don't do public
Anyone making large sums of illegal money keep it tucked away. Children's charities - now that's an idea... no-one would think of looking there...

I don't know if he's guilty but something smells. His love and fascination for Saddam was very odd.

I don't like the bloke at all. However, call me a cynic but I have no confidence in the US intelligence agencies. Especially when they're so politicised.

He is so odious that I cannot even rejoice in his having given Blair a blood nose. I hope this is true and that the Telegraph makes sure he gets prosecuted for perjury and goes to jail.

Straight up ?

Wonder if the pilot would have to do a Khe Sanh approach ? lol

Prime target I would say for the insurgency, what was the outcome of that downed Herc, was it shot down ?
