Looks like someone has been falsifying evidence:Republican Senator Norm Coleman used interviews with Aziz as evidence that Saddam's regime granted 23 million barrels of oil to Mr Galloway and his Mariam Appeal fund.
But the French lawyers representing Aziz told Mr Galloway in Paris that Aziz had never made a single statement incriminating him.
Ron McKay, spokesman for the Bethnal Green and Bow MP, said: "Aziz is denying he made any statement incriminating George to Senator Coleman or anybody else.
"Mr Galloway is accusing Senator Coleman of putting together lying testimony and has demanded that his name be cleared."
More here.
It looks like this is going to turn into a quarterly spectacle. I don't know - forgeries, falsified evidence, baseless rumours... you'd almost think someone was trying to shut Galloway up. Good luck with that.
