I thought that he stated things that were already known i.e. the 1982 occupation and the prisoner. Galloway is an established "sock-puppet" for every totalitarian regime in the middle east that will pay him. And I think the interviewer was extremely patient with Galloway's rantings. There are only three Lebanese prisoners and Israel has already offered to exchange two of them (the third is likely not ever going to happen). As for "occupied lands", we've discussed the Shabaa farms issue to exhaustion already. Lebanon has no claim to, according to the UN. If Syria wants to give up its claim to Lebanon, that's fine with me. And Galloway definitely skirted around the issue of exactly what right Hizbullah has to USURP the Lebanese government's authority to conduct foreign affairs, including release of prisoners and territorial disputes. Hizbullah, as an armed militia, has NO RIGHT TO EXIST. This is no different that the armed wing of the IRA, as the interviewer CORRECTLY identified as an analogy. Hawk
