Galloway rises to Senate challenge

[dweller]

George Galloway had vowed to
give US senators "both barrels"
and after sitting - coiled -
through an hour-and-half of
testimony against him, he
unloaded all his ammunition.

Far from displaying the
forelock-tugging deference to
which senators are accustomed,
Mr Galloway went on the attack.

He rubbished committee
chairman Norm Coleman's dossier of evidence and stared him in
the eye.

"Now I know that standards have slipped over the last few years
in Washington, but for a lawyer, you are remarkably cavalier with
any idea of justice," the MP declared.

One observer of Capitol Hill politics
declared the result: "Galloway by a knockout - before round five."

Others cast the confrontation as Braveheart on Capitol Hill.
