This George Galloway thing, does the Daily Telegraph not care how dodgy their story sounds?! "Yuh, we just happened to be walking through the remains of the Ministry buildings, just happened to stick our heads round the doorway of the room, just happened to see the only shoebox of undamaged items left in Iraq..." I'm willing to entertain the idea that George has been silly (as in naive) in his dealings with the former administration there, what seems more likely is that he will come under immense pressure to step down as an MP while he fights to clear his name (or that the news of this libel action will be used against him at the Labour NEC to get him deselected). Once he's out, the Torygraph's case will collapse, they'll admit they were wrong or were taken for a ride by some never-identified unscrupulous person and there will be one less troublemaker to annoy Saint Tony as he marches on to annex more parts of the free world for 'looking at us funny'...
