Off With His Head?

The US Senate committee investigating George Galloway on charges of taking bribes from Saddam Hussein has found that there is reasonable cause to believe that Galloway lied under oath, and has turned over the evidence to law-enforcement agencies in Britain and the US.

Both Republican and Democratic members of the committee announced that they had referred the report to the British authorities which had requested access to its evidence.


Now if the Senate can get around to investigating the lies of Joseph Wilson ....

The fact that law enforcement requested the data from the senate suggests to me that they are at least open to the idea of prosecution.

This is one of the rare instances where the politicians on our side have "pushed back", so I think we need to encourage them to do more of the same.

Peter:

I understand what you are saying. Really I do.

But if the bastard did this then we should not refuse to charge him just because he might get some mileage out of it.

If nothing else maybe it will keep the little s.o.b. out of my country. Unless he is in a jail cell.

Besides, we don't have the death penalty for theives and liars so I am not sure he could fight extradition.
