Re: George Galloway wins libel case against Telegraph over Saddam claims
Yah I realise this. My main interest is in who forged the documents that the CSM admitted were forgeries. I agree UK libel laws place far too much burden on the defendant. Sullivan's accouting of the converstation is a little unfair though; my understanding is that Galloway wasn't told of most of the accusations against him. The reporter only mentioned allegations he'd misspent money donated to the Mariam Appeal foundation which he founded (allegations he was subsequently cleared of) and didn't mention the Iraqi documents or oil for food charges at all.
