| During his debate with Salman Rushdie at the recent Edinburgh TV Festival, someone asked George Galloway if television should broadcast an adaptation of Rushdie's novel, "Satanic Verses." According to Rushdie, Galloway replied, "If you don't respect religion, you have to suffer the consequences." Holy Jesus! This was, unmistakably, an endorsement of the death-sentence fatwa issued against Rushdie by Ayatollah Khomeini. Add this endorsement of killing for God to Galloway's notorious opposition in Parliament to a woman's right to choose abortion, and you get yourself a British Pat Robertson. What next? Will he be "saluting the courage, strength and indefatigability" of abortion clinic bombers, as he saluted Saddam? It's nice to see the kind of bombers little Greggy worrys about, isn't it? The Honorable Member of Britain's House of Commons has become the new love-child of American progressives for his in-your-face accusations about our own government's mendacity in sending our troops to war in Iraq. I myself quoted Galloway with admiration. Gee, maybe you should think about...NAH! Thinking is for evil, humanistic anti-fascists, not Greg Palast! But the man who saluted the "courage" of Saddam Hussein in 1994, who today can't and won't account for nearly a million dollars in income and expenditures for a charity he founded to buy medicine for Iraqi children is not, friends, the best choice as our anti-war spokesman... No compost, Solar Pons Next Saturday, September 24, Cindy Sheehan and I will be speaking at the Operation Ceasefire gathering in Washington DC, sponsored by the DC Anti-War Network and United for Peace and Justice. Please join us. Hopefully, our voices won't be drowned out by George Galloway's antics. After St. Cindy's recent meltdowns, Galloway is the least of your troubles, Bunky Beaver |

| #1 Uh, Greg, the bummer for you is that he really is a good spokesman for "your cause"...which, as far as any of the rest of us can tell, is in-your-face accusations about our own government's mendacity in sending our troops to war in Iraq. |
