What Happened To Galloway's Testimony?

Does anyone else find it just a bit strange that everybody's testimony in front of Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs is out in the public in the U.S. but George Galloway's (a member of the U.K. Parliament) is glaring in its' omission? In fact the website for the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs has removed testimony from UK Member of Parliament George Galloway from its website. How very strange that all other witness testimonies for the hearings on the Oil for Food scandal are available on the Committee's website in PDF form. But Galloway's testimony is the only document not on the site. In fact if you go to their website, you get this: Title: Oil For Influence: How Saddam Used Oil to Reward Politicians Under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program [snip...] Panel 2 George Galloway , Member of Parliament for Bethnal Green and Bow , Great Britain Mr Galloway did not submit a statement. In fact, vnunet.com reports on the missing testimony with this headline: Galloway Senate testimony PDF goes AWOL Now you may say to yourself "well obviously he didn't submit a statement". Well, quite to the contrary, you can see for yourself in this video, that Galloway even refers to the statement. From the transcript of that video the only difference is he uses the British term "dossier" as he waves a stack of papers at the committee: "I do hope you will avail yourself of this dossier that I have produced, particularly you, Senator Levin." Well thankfully, the Bush Administration cannot influence the British press the way they silence our MSM. For the entire transcript, you can go to the U.K.'s Times Online here, and read the entire transcript of his testimony. Here are a few excerpts: "Senator, I am not now, nor have I ever been, an oil trader. And neither has anyone on my behalf. I have never seen a barrel of oil, owned one, bought one, sold one - and neither has anyone on my behalf." "Now I know that standards have slipped in the last few years in Washington, but for a lawyer you are remarkably cavalier with any idea of justice. I am here today but last week you already found me guilty. You traduced my name around the world without ever having asked me a single question, without ever having contacted me, without ever written to me or telephoned me, without any attempt to contact me whatsoever. And you call that justice." Quite a scathing opening statement I would say. Galloway goes on to outright accuse the committee and its' Chairman Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN), of a cover-up , or at the very least not investigating and reporting that it was U.S. corporations (and also Bush oil interest buddies and supporters) that profited from the oil-for-food program and the scandal it has caused: "If the world had listened to Kofi Annan, whose dismissal you demanded, if the world had listened to President Chirac who you want to paint as some kind of corrupt traitor, if the world had listened to me and the anti-war movement in Britain, we would not be in the disaster that we are in today. Senator, this is the mother of all smokescreens. You are trying to divert attention from the crimes that you supported, from the theft of billions of dollars of Iraq's wealth." "Have a look at the real Oil-for-Food scandal. Have a look at the 14 months you were in charge of Baghdad, the first 14 months when $8.8 billion of Iraq's wealth went missing on your watch. Have a look at Haliburton and other American corporations that stole not only Iraq's money, but the money of the American taxpayer." "Have a look at the oil that you didn't even meter, that you were shipping out of the country and selling, the proceeds of which went who knows where? Have a look at the $800 million you gave to American military commanders to hand out around the country without even counting it or weighing it." "Have a look at the real scandal breaking in the newspapers today, revealed in the earlier testimony in this committee. That the biggest sanctions busters were not me or Russian politicians or French politicians. The real sanctions busters were your own companies with the connivance of your own Government." I apologize for the length of this post, but to me it was necessary in order to point out that this is just yet another example of the lying and misrepresentation foisted upon the American people by the Republican controlled Administration and its' enablers in the Republican controlled Senate and its' committees.
