The rats begin to desert the HMS Galloway | |||

George Galloway's attempts to clear his name over the oil-for-food scandal suffered another setback yesterday when his spokesman confirmed that he had received payments from a businessman identified as a beneficiary of the scheme. Ron McKay said he had received $15,666 from Fawaz Zureikat, an associate of Mr Galloway, in August 2000.

#9 Monday, October 24, 2005; From Liz Neisloss Posted: 10:10 p.m. EDT (02:10 GMT) UNITED NATIONS (CNN) Galloway's now estranged wife, Dr. Amineh Abu-Zayyad, received roughly $150,000 in oil money. In an interview with subcommittee members on July 7, former Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz said, "The oil allocations we gave to George Galloway were in the name of either [Buhan Al-Chalabi] or to [Fawaz] Zureikat." Tariq, you f***! You ratted me OUT! |

#8 CS, had no idea that can be considered a mitigating circumstance. I'm sure it's in the UN charter somewhere. |

#7 boy, the cost of a soul is cheap these days That's prolly just the stuff that they didn't launder correctly and have to fess up to immediately. Who said anything about Galloway having a soul? |

#4 The term is "commingling", and it is quite illegal in most jurisdictions for the fiduciary of a charity (Breach of Fiduciary) to commingle charity and personal funds. And that's the very best face you can put on it, McKay. Now if it can be proven that you're full of shit, lol, then it gets much much worse. As for Georgie, lol, the several perjury counts on top of that are as sweet as summer wine. |
