George Galloway Blasts U S Senators Lies avi

It was the first time a British politician had been interrogated as a hostile witness at the US Senate - but Mr Galloway cast himself not as the accused, but the accuser.



George Galloway had vowed to give US senators "both barrels" and after sitting - coiled - through an hour-and-half of testimony against him, he unloaded all his ammunition.



Far from displaying the forelock-tugging deference to which senators are accustomed, Mr Galloway went on the attack.



He rubbished committee chairman Norm Coleman's dossier of evidence and stared him in the eye.



"Now I know that standards have slipped over the last few years in Washington, but for a lawyer, you are remarkably cavalier with any idea of justice," the MP declared.
