#3 I hope Galloway got his money's worth, and can rest easy knowing he used a sick little girl to advance himself politically and economically. What a scumbag.

#4 It looks like as soon as it was clear that Saddam was toast anyway (and galloway's paydays from Saddam would soon stop), his payments to the little girl also stopped.

But I'm sure that this is all, as the arabs would say, a "misunderstanding."

#5 A lefty who got rich fighting for "The Cause". Boy, you don't see that very often do you? He must be the UK version of Jesse Jackson. Scumbag.

#6 Tommy Franks should tell Rumsfeld to whistle up a Gulfstream and fly this kid to Bethesda for treatment. Better yet Mayo Clinic or Johns Hopkins. The cost would be mininal to us and the public relations coup could be priceless. And while we're at it get the dad a job in country with Bechtel

#7 Update....apparently according to the Best of the Web, Galloway's wife's salary was approximately 23 times the annual amount paid to Mariam every year for treatment.
Absolutely no f***ing shame whatsoever. Hope there's a special place in hell for them both.
