PING!!!!!!!

[SauronOfMordor]

He's currently in his villa in Portugal. Don't know if Portugal has an extradition treaty with the Brits, and doubt that it would cover political crimes like treason.

I think it unlikely that he'll return to Britain

[CanadianBacon]

We can only wait for the U.S. box to be disclosed. Hopefully the wannabe child molester will get what is rightfully coming to him.

[Billthedrill]

I wonder how many reporters are scrambling for that first leeeetle peek inside the box labeled "United States?"

[Argus]

Hussein is said to have rejected a request from Galloway for more money, saying his "exceptional" demands were not affordable

Galloway was too greedy even for Saddam.

Repeated efforts to contact Galloway, who is currently traveling in Portugal, were unsuccessful

He's flown the coop, folks. Probably relaxing on the beach at Latakia, Syria by now with Qusay, Uday and the gang.

[Steven W.]

sure - pseudo-Americans John Conyers and Charles Rangle were the ones to actually engage in these payoffs from Saddam's regime and they disguised all this paperwork to cover up those facts and, instead, put all the burden on poor Galloway as the culprit. It's blashpeme they'll tell you!

[Grampa Dave]

If Scott Ritter's name comes up with documentation, I volunteer to be on the possee to bring him back dead or alive.

There has been a real deafening silence from the Rats in congress who supported Soddomite since this has started to come out.

[dodger]

Can the similar files on Terry MacCauliff, the DNC & Clintonista be far behind???

[backhoe]

Say, it just keeps growing & growing & growing...

It makes you wonder what other liberal, pro-Saddam, anti-war nuts had been getting money from Saddam?

This Galloway dude should be strung and hung

[PianoMan]

A dirtbag beyond even the wildest guesses of his worst enemies.

Excerpt from a BBC article related to Brits fighting with the Taliban, but you can see the relevance to this guy:

Legal textbook Blackstones Criminal Practice stopped including the Treason Act of 1351 almost a decade ago, says one of its compliers Professor Michael Gunn.

"No lawyer practising today would have studied high treason even as a student."

Though tinkered with since, the bulk of English treason legislation dates from the reign of Edward III, as the strict definition of the offence attests.

Against the Crown

"When a Man doth compass or imagine the Death of our Lord the King, or of our Lady his Queen, or of their eldest Son and Heir; or if a man do violate the King's companion or the King's eldest Daughter unmarried or if a Man do levy War against the King they ought to be judged Treason."

"As far as I'm aware," says Mr Gunn, "the last British treason trial would have been that of William Joyce after the war."

Joyce - popularly known as Lord Haw Haw - was recruited by the Nazis to broadcast sneering radio propaganda to British audiences.

The fascist was hanged at Wandsworth gaol for treason despite protesting that he was American-born and the holder of German citizenship.

Lord Haw Haw's UK passport proved fatal

To be convicted of treason, the defendant has to be shown to have broken their duty of allegiance to the Crown. The fact that Joyce had held a valid British passport when he began broadcasting was enough to see him climb the gallows.

Personally, I think that he should be arrested and flown to Iraq and turned over to the Kurds for the crimes that he helped Soddomite to hide from the world.

[aristeides]

I wonder what Galloway was asking for that the Iraqis wouldn't pay.

Payments started in '92. I wonder if that was to replace payments Galloway had been getting up to that point from the Soviets. I wonder if the Russkis pointed Galloway out to the Iraqis as a likely target.

[ElkGroveDan]

I think its only a matter of time before someone finds this kind of thing on an AMERICAN member of the fifth column.

Anyone care to suggest possible candidates?

[francisr]

any one care to bet that the good gentleman has bolted??? any takers on where?

[fooman]

It will be interesting to see if the Guardian can come up with something to explain THIS away.....

The CSM is NOT a right wing publication. I wonder who is next to be crucified...

Osama MAma on deck....

[dighton]

Gee..does the VRWC work over there?

It's the Zionists, I tell ya. Iraq is swarming with 'em.

[aruanan]

Ha ha ha ha ha. This is SO sweet! Now, let's imagine how many other people had been screwed over by Saddam and sons and have kept information on them and their activities.
