Oil for Lobbying?

Seems that as more documents and such surface in Iraq we're starting to learn some very interesting things. Thats assuming you believe any of them.

Turns out that George Galloway, the British "Labour backbencher" (which is completely incomprehensible to us politically challenged Americans...) who has been fighting to get sanctions lifted against Iraq for years and let quite a vocal campain against the war there has been on the Iraqi payroll for years! To the tune 375,00 pounds a year, which is what, about 600k american?

Going to be interesting to see how this turns out, and all the other good stuff coming in.

Galloway was in Saddam's pay, say secret Iraqi documents Article in the telegraph today. All the buzz on the internet /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

don't mean to take this offtopic but when you said "buzz on the 'net" i remembered two links I like:

http://www.popdex.com/

an index of what's popular in terms of visits and rank on the web, i think it refreshes ever hour. quite some interesting stuff there; also some links on there are not safe for work, and they are labeled as such.

and then there's google zeitgeist, similar idea:

http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html

back to the regular programming.

i think that fellow issued a press statement vehemently denying being on iraqi payroll shortly thereafter.
