Our guests this week include:
* MP George Galloway, author of the new book, "Mr. Galloway Goes To Washington: The Brit Who Set Congress Straight About Iraq" (New Press).Mr. Galloway is the Respect Party's Member of Parliament for Bethnal Green and Bow in London, a seat he won after being expelled from the Labour Party following thirty-six year of membership. The Party expelled George for opposing the war in Iraq. You may remember George from his amazing testimony before the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs relating to his alleged and unsubstantiated involvement in the oil-for-food "scandal."
