#1 Turning Ra^thergate on its head - real but discredited.

#2 Responsibility of course is a quality found very much in the eye of the beholder

And it's fuzzy laws like this which allow judges to award victory entirely according to their own political agenda. No one reading the Telegraph's reports was obliged to accept the Telegraph's interpretation of the documents as the only valid one. Did the Telegraph actually extrapolate so much that it is known to have lied? No! Not at all.

I'll bet the Telegraph and others are burrowing into Galloway's dirty dealings as we speak. The next crop of exposes will be devastating and watertight. Galloway's bought himself a bit of breathing space, that's all.

#3 What Bulldog said. The real investigation's only just beginning, and this time it's not just a few journalists but a Senate Committee with a huge staff and full subpoena power. Plus we can expect NY State Atty Elliott "Pitbull" Spitzer getting his chops into this at some point as well. This man brought Sandy Weill and Citigroup low; Galloway will be child's play for him.
