George Galloway, the MP from Scotland is gettting dragged across the coals by the Telegraph:

Associates of George Galloway earned £500,000 from the worldwide sale of Tony Benn's pre-war interview with Saddam Hussein.

The exclusive - Saddam's first interview with a Western figure for 12 years - was secured by Arab TV (ATV), a newly established satellite channel based in London.

The channel had been set up by Ron McKay, a Scottish journalist and long-term friend of Mr Galloway, and was financed by Fawaz Zureikat, the Jordanian businessman linked to the MP.

But ATV did not broadcast the footage itself. The channel never went on air and its offices in the West End are now closed and the telephone lines disconnected.


Based on all the other information presented, I tend to think this guy's career is coming to a screeching halt.
