"But in 2005, it's perfectly okay to create false reports?" You must be reality-based. That congressional committee is desperately looking for proof that Europeans were more deeply involved in the Oil For Food scandal than Americans and have been coming up dry. Since they need to believe that was the case, there is a need to fabricate evidence. Only the reality-based see a real problem, the others are ok with it. The real story is not the few hundred million that the OFF scandal syphoned off to Saddam, but the billions that have gone unaccounted for under direct American supervision. OFF is just the smokescreen.

What's going on? What's going on is that Galloway came over from London, spit in the eye of Senator Coleman and company, shat on the Senate floor and then left. He did what no Democrat has been able to do.....he put the bad guys in their place. And the American media doesn't know what to say about it!
