Galloway attacks senate over oil claims

BRITISH MP George Galloway yesterday angrily rejected charges by the US Congress that he profited from the Iraq oil-for-food programme as “utterly preposterous”.

Far from showing the usual deference of witnesses before Congress, the Scotsman defiantly told a Senate committee its evidence against him was false.

Mr Galloway bluntly confronted the Republican chairman of the committee, Senator Norm Coleman.
