I know this is a little old news, but if anyone hasn't heard, viewed, or read what George Galloway said at the committee meeting discussing "Oil For Influence: How Saddam Used Oil to Reward Politicians Under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program", they should do so right now.

The Brad Blog had it right when it said:

Not since attorney Joseph Welch confronted the soon-to-fall Anti-Communist Crusader/Idealogue, Joseph McCarthy in 1954 with his now famous "Have you no sense of decency, sir?" testimony can we recall such a direct shaming of a Congressional Committee as that which took place earlier today in a Senate Subcommittee Hearing on the trumped-up U.N. Oil-for-Food "Scandal" which Bush Lackeys and Fox & Friends have been flogging ever since it became apparent that there were no WMD in Iraq, and thus, no justification for this trumped-up war.

The transcript was tweaked on the goverment website, but can be found at The Times, here.

You can view a PIECE of the footage here, but read the transcript to get more details.

Of course, I don't know about the claims made about George Galloway. But his words are correct, and I am proud of the scottish! :)
