Splinters

Perhaps this won't be reported in mainstream US media but Respect MP George Galloway gave a storming performance in his address to a Senate subcommittee who accused him of siphoning money from the Oil for Food programme in the 90s: I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns. (Nice sentence construction too). What's nice too is that the BBC ran it without any of its usual slanting. (You can read more about the Senate SC's allegations at Lenin's Tomb).
