Am I the only one who has an overwhelming desire to see Sadam's mate, in an orange jump suit in Guantanamo?

[WaldoMcFroog]

I'm sure I can think of a few Daily Mail Islanders on here who will agree with you. Might be nice to wait and see if he's actually guilty though, eh?

[youngmafbog]

I think we have seen enough actions from this man to warrant Loosehead's comment - regardless of this latest accusation. And I dont read the Daily mail.

[january_bug]

He looks like the Monopoloy man, and, IF guilty, he deserves to face prison in THIS country, if that's where the offence was committed.

WaldoMcFroog - there do seem to be ever less people who are bothered about justice and the right to a fair trial in this country don't there!? Worries me a little I must say!

Galloway might deserve it, IF guilty, but it's a pity people are become so impatient as to want to throw away human rights for ALL of us.

I'll make a bet with you now LH. George G will go to the states, again; face his acusers, again; make them look stupid, again and he wont ever be found guilty of anything.

Trial by Media - don't you just bet that Murdoch is rolling his hands in glee.

youngmafbog - so what actions have you seen from this man that warrant holding him without charge and subject to torture? (apart from his moustache that is)

[Oneeyedvic]

Actually, just had a thought.

Lets dunk him in the river and see if he drowns. If he survives then he must have taken the money. If he dies then he was probably innocent.

[Loosehead]

Well I suppose I was really referring to his boot licking Saddam ("I salute you sir, I salute your courage, your indefatigability........" Perlease, pass the sick bag) and general anti western stance rather than this latest incident. Though I suppose that after last time the Americans would make pretty damm sure that they had something solid before they had another go at him, so there may well be something in it this time.

[jake-the-peg]

There's one George I'd like to see in a jumpsuit in Cuba and it isn't Galloway!

[goldenboy]

if bootlicking genocidal mass murdering despots deserves guantanamo bay then shouldn't mrs thatcher get a place?, she seemed pretty matey with pinocet.

[Dom Tuk]

Read the report...it says that he and his wife 'may' have profited. And if they are so sure why not charge him with the cimre rather than with perjury. Bloody lying popinjays

[surfer mike]

Daily mail island!!! i don't inhabit that place and never will, but i dislike mr ego and his fellow saluters of saddam intensely.. but innocent until proven guilty.and as yet it's all just smoke and mirrors.

[Ward-Minter]

I would like to see them all under an orange suit of Napalm.

[Peter Pedant]

as I write this, Gorgeous George is on the beeb demanding to be prosecuted/indicted for perjury.

I thought Georgie gave them a good run for their money.

I thought his main point was 'true' which was this was a side show to ddistract attention away from the disastrous adventure in iraq

and in that I would agree with him

[surfer mike]

Ok lets say conclusive evidence comes to light that show georgie boy is bang to rights with his snort in the trough, something that would not surprise me in the slightest...will i wonder his supporters accept that, you bet they won't, they'll say its a big american conspiracy to slur the 'great man of the poor downtrodden masses'..and that in itself is a contradiction in terms..

[goldenboy]

im sure when it comes to light that george bush has had his 'snort in the trough' from all sorts of unpalatable interests that he will equally have people say that its a big conspiracy to slur 'the great man who has freed the downtrodden of the third world from evil dictators'

[surfer mike]

No actually old boy i'll say he should be impeached...

[Oneeyedvic]

Surfer mike - just to say that I think Gorgeous George is a dispicable odious man.

That said, I assume he is guilty until proven innocent. He has faced one hearing and (imho) come out of it looking like he 'won'.

If he is found guilty (and I mean guilty in a sensible trial as opposed to guilty by media) , I will have no hesitation to agree that he should be imprisoned.

Shame that as aa Blair supporter you can't agree that Blair should be imprisoned for taking us into a war on false preteneces (though I am sure you think that WMDs will still be found).

The buck stops where?

[surfer mike]

If you can get cast iron proof that blair knew that hussain had no weapons before he took us to war then yes he should be impeached...but as yet apart from the usual conspiracy ******** by the usual sources nobody have come up with any.. so if it applies to galloway innocent till proven guilty then it should apply to blair...as i seem to remember practically every country thought he had still had those weapons at the time...blair as a leader must decide as regards the intelligence at the time and the intelligence told him saddam had them...

[Oneeyedvic]

Yeah, usual conspiracy rubbish.

People like Hans Blix - what a load or cr@p they talk. I mean what are his credentials?

Russia, Germany and France, - nations who opposed a new UN resolution - because they believed weapons inspectors were making progress.

Amazing how quick history is rewritten and how quick we forget!

[surfer mike]

You asked whether blair should be jailed or thrown out of office....i told you yes if conclusive evidence comes to light...that prove he knew all along that hussain never had those weapons..as ever you change the record and talk about all those people who were against the invasion/liberation!, which is a different issue entirely...Blix, france, russia and germany were also of the opinion he had those weapons...thats a fact...i take your point about rewriting history though but both sides are equally guilty on that...
