George Galloway
No angel himself, but there seem to be far worse people around... he quite the labour party here when it went to war, and has been accused of giving money to Saddam by the US. He has recently gone to respond to a US Senate inquiry and said the following very nice words

yep. heard some of it on the morning news (onya Radio National!) and I think it was the first time that I felt like cheering loudly at 6:00am while my eyes were still glued shut.
Go George Go!
If only these senate enquiries asked more people what they tought of the whole thing. We'll probably see that most of the world thinks along these lines, we're just too afraid to say so.....
Interesting though that the CNN link you've got doesn't give this piece, which is what I heard as I was waking up:
"As a matter of fact, I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns. I met him to try and bring about an end to sanctions, suffering and war, and on the second of the two occasions, I met him to try and persuade him to let Dr Hans Blix and the United Nations weapons inspectors back into the country - a rather better use of two meetings with Saddam Hussein than your own Secretary of State for Defence made of his. (from the timesonline.co.uk)
unless I'm looking at the wrong thing...?
