“New” Galloway documents just as forged as the old
With Galloway today appearing for the US Senate Committee that accused him of dodgy business with Saddam Hussein, the revelations by the Socialist Worker tht the crucial piece of evidence was forged could come at no better time:
The central document used against George Galloway this week by the US senate committee investigating Iraq?s oil for food programme is a forgery. Socialist Worker can reveal that evidence crucial to the alleged case against the Respect MP is fake ? created after the fall of Baghdad in 2003.
The allegations are another desperate attempt to smear the opponents of the war on Iraq, and to make them appear as the corrupt hirelings of tyranny.
In Britain the material is another dirty weapon to be employed in an effort to destroy George Galloway and halt the rise of Respect.
Most of the accusations hurled against George Galloway by the senate committee on investigations this week were based on testimony that was supposedly freely given by former officials in Saddam Hussein?s regime who are now held by US forces.
In many cases these sources are not even named.
But there is one piece of evidence that at first glance seems persuasive. It is in the findings of the Duelfer Report ? the conclusions of the Iraq Survey Group headed by Charles Duelfer which last year admitted Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction.

Look closely at the entry, which is reproduced above.
- The typeface (font) used for ?Mr George Galloway? is different to the rest of the line. Indeed the only time this font is used in the entire document is where George Galloway?s name appears.
- ?Mr George Galloway? does not line up with the rest of the words in the entry. It is at an angle to the other words.
- The spacings between ?Mr George Galloway? and the rest of the words are inconsistent.
- The dash after the words ?Mr George Galloway? touches the following word.
- The words ?Mr George Galloway? are at a different type density (lighter) than the rest
There’s also an article in the current Socialist Worker in which an Iraqi forger reveals how he helped forged another food for oil list.
This whole thing is such a clown show.
