Telegraph defends Galloway story

Mr Galloway has branded the story "outrageous"

It was "tremendously important" for the public to hear claims that George Galloway took money from Saddam Hussein, a newspaper has said.

Daily Telegraph executive editor Neil Darbyshire was giving evidence in the paper's libel fight with the MP.

Mr Galloway is suing the newspaper at the High Court over claims he took £375,000 from Saddam Hussein's regime.

But Mr Darbyshire said he was certain the documents used for the story were genuine and in the public interest.

1. He and other people not convinced by Powell's evidence

Many people were vocal in the assertions that they were not convinced by the US claims that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and plans to use them to attack the US.

Sometime later, some of people were accused of having business relations with Saddam Hussein -- the inference being that Saddam bought them off.

I don't buy this BS. It's disinformation left over from before the war. Galloway will sue succesfully.
