George Galloway has heaved a huge sigh of relief. "They've only been on my case for a little over 10 years and yet again I have been cleared of taking a single penny or in any way personally benefiting from the former Iraqi regime through the Oil for Food programme or any other means."
The Commissioner's report stated this fact unequivocally no less than six times as well as stating that it would be a "travesty" to describe GG as a "paid mouth-piece."
The grotesque irony in this sorry episode was the decision of a pro-sanctions and pro-war Committee of a pro-sanctions and pro-war Parliament passing judgement on the work of their opponents to suspend GG, especially in the light of the bloody march of events in Iraq since this inquiry began four years ago.
