Reported by the Washington Bureau written by David Ivanovich.
The US Senate received a taste of George Galloway, a member of Parliament
from Britain.
Responding to a Senate inquiry, Galloway belittled the inquiry as " utterly
preposterous" and challenged the Senators on
the fairness of the panel that would smear his name " without ever having
asked me a single questiuon".
Stating " I know that standards have slipped over the last few years here
in Washington.. But for a lawyer, you're remarkably cavalier with any idea of
justice".
Galloway mocked investigators for an error he described as a
"schoolboy howler".
And in a voice dripping with sarcasm, Galloway questioned the credibility
of any information from Ramadan. " He's your prisoner, he's in Abu Ghraib
prison. I believe he is facing war crimes, charges punishable by death. Knowing
what the world knows about how you treat prisoners in Abu Ghraib.. I'm not sure
how much credibility anyone would put on anything you manage to get from a
prisoner in those circumstances",
US Senators must be careful when debating a member of Parliament , else
they wind up on the wrong end of a Shakespearian drama. Never try to teach a
Brit the fine art of debate or how to suck eggs.
