Hello Friends--

Note: I chose not to name the subject- "Lebanese/Hizbollah -Israel & New
Media coverage" in an effort to _not_ help flame the thread. If you coul
keep it that way it would be great.

I got this link today on a skynews interview on Lebanse/Hizbollah's wa
against Israel.Its an interview of an amzingly aritculate Britis
MP-Galloway.

http://news.sky.com/skynews/video/videoplayer/0,,31200-galloway_060806,00.html


Just wanted to know some of your thoughts on this interview and th
subject of the interview.Iam particularly interested in knowing how righ
is Galloway-chillingly or hardly? It is amazing to see the conviction i
his voice and its puzzling how the words come out tumbling like it wer
always destined to. It was so powerful and easy, that I almost want to bu
every word of his. Should I?

Thanks for taking precious time to comment on this vexing topic.

On googling for some background on George Halloway,I found lot o
interesting stuff, including his own website(georgehalloway.com). Ia
begining to get a better feel of where he comes and what his biases are
trifle better now.But thats not to say I was any less impressed with tha
interview still.

Here are 3 webpages of interest on him:

Please keep this out of this newsgroup.

I believe galloway was implicated as essentially being on Saddam's payroll
pre-invasion and as such I'd very much doubt anyththing he had to say about
anything.

As I read it, no challenge was made to the Iraqi papers, just that the
newspaper was overzealous in its reporting. I wonder the result if the same
standard were applied to Dan Rather reporting Bush's NG service.

At any rate, if folks want to take advice on geopolitics from a Big Brother
contest, have at it.

I think I read it a little differently from you. I read that the courts
ruled that the Daily Telegraph libelled George 'Gorgeous' Galloway by
reporting the contents of the Iraqi papers and then _saying_they_were_true_.
Merely repoting the contents in a neutral way would not have been libelous.
So, the high court and the appeal court judgements mean there was no
evidence presented to them to prove in the balance of probabilities that the
papers were true. It seems that the only money Galloway made from
oil-for-food was by suing people who said he made money from oil-for-food!
