Galloway was in Saddam’s pay, say secret Iraqi documents

George Galloway, the Labour backbencher, received money from Saddam Hussein’s regime, taking a slice of oil earnings worth at least ?75,000 a year, according to Iraqi intelligence documents found by The Daily Telegraph in Baghdad.

However, it did seemed odd even to the journalist who claimed to have found them that papers in pristine condition should turn up in a fire-blackened room. It also seems strange that, among presumably countless mostly Arabic documents in thousands of files, the British journalist just happened to come across these ones concerning the British MP. Now that the CSM docomuents have been proven false, an even bigger question mark must hang over those used by the Telegraph. Galloway is suing the Daily Telegraph for libel. The case continues…
