#1 I'm not too sure about the significance of this. "al-Tikriti" just means someone who came from Tikrit. Just glancing down the al-Qaeda list on Thugburg, the first name is Abd al-Mushin Al-Libi (the Libyan). Abdel Azeem al-Muhajir is "the immigrant," or maybe "the traveller." We can guess were Abu Abdullah al-Iraqi is from.

Anas Altikriti has been the Media and Public Relations Director for Muslim Association of Britain for awhile, just as Galloway's been a suck-up to Sammy for awhile. Anas al-Tikriti - I'd guess he's the same one - is an instructor of Arabic at Heriot-Watt University.

If he is a relative or a clansman, which is entirely likely, it would be pretty clumsy of the regime. They do seem to be more clumsy than usual lately - viz., the diplo on his way home now from Manila for consorting with Abu Sayyaf. On the other hand, he may legitimately have no connection with Sammy's family beyond the distant relative category.

#2 Ridiculous, pathetic attempt at journalism. Perhaps because I come from Glasgow I am George Galloway's brother, which must make me loyal to Saddam. Geez, you can always find a link somehow, eh?
