Give a liberal enough time and rope and they hang themselves...

The report alleges:

• Galloway sought and received vouchers to sell Iraqi oil on eight occasions between 1999 and 2003 for a total of 23 million barrels.

• Galloway's now estranged wife, Dr. Amineh Abu-Zayyad, received roughly $150,000 in oil money.

• Galloway's political campaign, the Mariam Appeal, received at least $446,000.

• Hussein's regime got kickbacks of more than $1.6 million from the oil allotted to Galloway and the Mariam Appeal for sale in violation of U.N. sanctions.

• Galloway "knowingly made false or misleading statements under oath" before the subcommittee.

The report says Jordanian businessman Fawaz Zureikat, a friend of Galloway, "transferred a significant portion" of money from an oil deal under the oil-for-food program to Galloway's wife and Galloway's Mariam Appeal

He set up the organization in 1998 to raise money for medical aid for Iraq and to campaign against the imposition of sanctions on Iraq.

That foundation was named after Mariam Hamza, a child flown from Iraq to Britain by the fund to get treatment for leukemia.
