The Jawa Report: Was The Fire In His Belly Stoked By Saddam's Oil?
"Was The Fire In His Belly Stoked By Saddam's Oil?
Anti-War MP Accused of Lying About Oil-for-Food Payoffs
Ferociously anti-war British Minister of Parliament George Galloway now 
stands accused of having profited from the oil-for-food program and 
lying about his involvement to the US Senate. From the Guardian (UK):
     The MP George Galloway angrily rejected fresh allegations last 
night from a US senate investigation that he lied under oath about 
Saddam Hussein's multimillion-pound oil-for-food programme.
The allegations made by the Senate committee are serious:
     · "Galloway personally solicited and was granted oil allocations 
from the government of Iraq during the reign of Saddam Hussein. The 
Hussein regime granted Galloway and the Mariam Appeal (an organisation 
he set up to help Iraqis suffering from sanctions) eight allocations 
totalling 23m barrels from 1999 through to 2003."
     · "Galloway's wife, Dr Amineh Abu-Zayyad, received approximately 
$150,000 in connection with one of those oil allocations."
     · "Galloway's political campaign, the Mariam Appeal, received at 
least $446,000 in connection with the oil allocations granted to 
Galloway and the Mariam Appeal under the oil-for-food programme."
     · "The Hussein regime received improper 'surcharge' payments 
amounting to $1,642,000 in connection with the oil allocations granted 
to Galloway and the Mariam Appeal."
     · "Galloway knowingly made false or misleading statements under 
oath before the sub-committee.
Galloway's Mariam Appeal was established in 1998 to campaign for the 
lifting of sanctions against the Saddam Hussein regime. Interesting.

La wikipedia ha un articolo (piuttosto lungo) su di lui.

ahahahahah quando mezza amministrazione Bush sta per saltare per le 
menzogne sull'Iraq (solo ieri è spuntato il nome di Cheney nel cia-gate) 
te ne esci con Galloway, che ha già testimoniato cantandogliele di 
fronte al congresso yankee.

Vediamo se ha coraggio di andare al processo che gli intenteranno contro.

Sappiamo benissimo chi è Galloway tuttavia per me cheney salta 
indipendentemente da questo e se il processo lo fanno a Libby rischia 
veramente la galera a vita.

ma che cazzo di siti linki? Mi si sono aperti decine di pop ups porno 
quando lo ho aperto .

 quando lo ho aperto .
A me non succede.
Usi MS Internet Explorer?
Passa a Firefox.
Ho provato anche a permettere al sito di aprire dei pop-up, ma non ne ha 
aperto nessuno.

A tal proposito: ierisera nelle news di  BBC World c'era una brevissima
intervista a Galloway, in cui egli ha detto che esige di essere
processato e che e' pronto a partire (ovviamente questo non prova la
sua innocenza)
Nel secondo sito che hai postato ho visto questo commento

Who votes for a stronger punishment for Galloway than we gave to our
own citizens who dealt illegally with Saddam? I do for one. Midway Oil
of Reston VA was convicted and fined only 250,000 dollars for kickbacks
of 440,000 dollars to Saddam. And does anyone remember who the prime
contractor contractor was to rebuild Saddam's southern oil fields after
Gulf War I ?

Qualcuno conosce la storia di questa Midway Oil? Sembra interessante
