The BBC World News tonight led with story, and yes, Galloway was videogenic. I just watched the coverage on the PBS News Hour with Jim Lehrer, and PBS showed Galloway in a less favorable light than the BBC. E.g., concerning Galloway's meetings with S. Hussein, the BBC report included only Galloway's (very effective) testimony that he met with Hussein twice, the same number of times that Rumsfeld did, and that unlike Rumsfeld his aim hadn't been to sell Hussein guns. The PBS News Hour, OTOH, emphasized footage of Galloway being received by Hussein and speaking in flowery terms about him (btw, didn't that used to be called diplomacy?).

it's in the NY TIMES on-line quoting Reuters (http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/politics/politics-iraq-un-usa.html) but not the LA TIMES yet. You'd think that TV would love it, since it's quite dramatic (or looks that way on paper). The London TIMES coverage is pretty amusing. JD
