With this below, but all that happens when I try to reply to the
actual thread, which is also marked fro cross-posting to various
groups is that what I have typed is deleted and Google Reader refuses

''A strange place. Just how strange and mysterious was demonstrated
once again on 6 March, when junior Foreign Office Minister Ben
Bradshaw launched an astonishing attack on the Labour MP George
Galloway calling him an "apologist and a mouthpiece" for Saddam
Hussein's Iraqi regime.
It was one of the most dramatic confrontations Parliament has seen for
a long time. Galloway immediately jumped to his feet shouting "Liar".
To say I am a "mouthpiece" for "a dictator", he said, his orator's
voice trembling with emotion, is to impugn "my honour".
George Galloway's voice and manner on this occasion brought vividly to
my mind a scene recorded by the BBC cameras in Iraq eight years ago.
In January 1994 Galloway, his voice vibrating with deep feeling, his
body language and manner strongly suggestive of awe and respect, stood
before the Iraqi Hitler, Saddam Hussein, in a Baghdad palace and
praised his courage, strength and indefatigability.
"Sir," said Galloway, standing within smelling distance of the mass
murderer, "Sir…- we salute your courage, your strength, your
indefatigability".
Fine words and sentiments indeed!
