    Remember those documents that "proved" that rebel Labour MP George Galloway was in the pay of Saddam?

    An American newspaper has apologised to Glasgow Labour MP George Galloway after alleging that he accepted millions of pounds from Saddam Hussein.

    The Christian Science Monitor has admitted that a set of documents upon which it based its story on were "almost certainly" fake.


    There are still the Telegraph allegations outstanding. Galloway denies those, but says that he is still trying to prove the documents are forged.

    It also raises the question of who forged the documents that CSM published and why they were forged. Especially as the BBC article states that the documents "were actually written within the past few months".

    It couldn't be that British intelligence was trying to smear the anti-war camp?

    Hmm.

    It can't be that. We're on the side of all that's good and holy.

    It was probably "terrorists". Or something.

    Next thing you know, someone say that the James, brother of Jesus box was fake, or that Bush and Blair knew Iraq wasn't a threat. I don't know what I'll do then.
