British MP attacks US Republican Coleman in hearing

World news from The Times and the Sunday Times - Times Online: "George Galloway, the Respect MP, attacked a US Senate committee today for its 'schoolboy errors' over claims that Saddam Hussein awarded him lucrative contracts under the UN Oil-for-Food programme.

In a defiant performance on Capitol Hill, the new MP for Bethnal Green and Bow accused the committee of traducing his own reputation and mounting 'the mother of all smokescreens' to hide the real scandal - that Americans had plundered billions of dollars of Iraqi wealth."
