George Galloway in LA: No to War and Occupation Tour
Stand Up and Be Counted! Help Build Sept 24 Protest!

George Galloway is a Respect Party Member of Parliament for Bethnal Green and Bow in East London. He recently electrified the U.S. with his appearance at a Senate Permanent Subcommittee hearing on May 17, when he turned the proceedings into a condemnation of the war on Iraq. CNN's Wolf Blitzer described Galloway's speech in the Senate as "a blistering attack on U.S. senators rarely heard" in Washington. Galloway's new book, out in September, is "Mr. Galloway Goes to Washington."

2. Galloway on This is Hell

Galloway was interviewed on This is Hell this morning 9/17/05

It should be available in their archives in a few days, sooner if you bug them. It should be available via podcast even sooner.
An article by Greg Palast criticizing Galloway is in heavy circulation around the net WHAT'S LEFT? GALLOWAY VERSUS HITCHENS; PROGRESSIVES VERSUS OURSELVES. http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=51&ItemID=8732
It was a good interview. Galloway is definitely feisty and does not take too kindly to some of the acquisitions that are quoted to him from the Palast article.
Interesting Galloway claims he was not familiar with the Palast article and that he had never heard of Greg Palast.

3. What is going on between Galloway and Greg Palast?

Greg's the best liberal writer we've got and, still, he and Galloway seem to be at odds.
