Boston-based Christian Science Monitor has a big, big scoop, saying it has obtained documents detailing possible âmultimillion dollar payments to an outspoken British member of parliament, George Galloway.â

... Not $350,000 as previously reported. But millions. The documents were found in the house of Saddamâs son, Qusay, another one of those darling little Hussein boys. From the story by Philip Smucker:

âThe most recent - and possibly most revealing - documents were obtained earlier this week by the Monitor. The papers include direct orders from the Hussein regime to issue Mr. Galloway six individual payments, starting in July 1992 and ending in January 2003. ...

"The three most recent payment authorizations, beginning on April 4, 2000, and ending on January 14, 2003 are for $3 million each. All three authorizations include statements that show the Iraqi leadership's strong political motivation in paying Galloway for his vociferous opposition to US and British plans to invade Iraq.â

#3 I wonder if Portugal has an extradition treaty with Britain? ;)
Did this "Mariam" even get the treatment for leukemia? It seems like they spent money on everything except her. Poor kid.

#4 I'd really like to see the contents of the box labeled "France".
"USA" would be nice to see, too.

#6 O'reilly's been all over that, and yes,he had to amend and restate several of the PUSH financial statements. Penalties weren't made public, but while Clinton was president, the IRS was held away from "the Revrund". He's gotten smarter - now he just extorts $ from companies with threats of racial accusations

#7 Hmmm. Galloway's comments sound suspiciously like Michael Bellesiles-type weaseling.

#9 Tariq Aziz has a new career.. one that's likely good enough to keep him out of the gallows.
