Evidence 'goes missing' from Committee website...

Galloway Senate testimony PDF goes AWOL

The website for the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs has removed testimony from UK MP George Galloway from its website.

All other witness testimonies for the hearings on the Oil for Food scandal are available on the Committee's website in PDF form. But Galloway's testimony is the only document not on the site.

"I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him," Galloway told the Committee.

"The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns."

Press representatives for the Committee had no comment.

Iraq brings democracy to USUK, Bush/Bliar murder victis will not die in vain

Victims of 2nd USUK massacre at Falluja

Iraq brings democracy to UK - letter to GG.

Dear Honourable George Galloway,

With your efforts in Washington, IMHO you have done more than win the battle of public opinion.
You have also allowed some small insight into the truth for the impoverished US electorate.... impoverished that is, from the lack of real information and informed debate. As we know, 'the truth wul oot," but in America too late for many millions in some 40 countries already slaughtered by their military industry.
The corporate fascist culture in the US has built on the lack of independant media, most media corporates having close links with the arms/oil cartel that runs the country with their profit as their God.
The reality is that the Bush/Bliar disaster, by some bloody irony, at the cost of the innocent lives of some 100,000 children, women and other civilians has nudged USUK towards some proper democracy with Proportional Representation. Here is no mention of the horrors yet to unfold over generations to come from illegal USUK WMD, used in Iraq, specifically depleted uranium and cluster bombs.
This great human sacrifice inflicted on the Iraqi people is closer to achieving a real democracy in the UK where corporate fascism is less advanced than in the US. Here in the UK the majority of a better informed populace, opposing the illegal USUK attack, must not and will not rest until there are systems in place to prevent another Bliar type disaster ever occuring again.

Can you believe that after Galloway trashed the committee so soundly and after it was covered so intensely internationally they think it's OK to pretend it didn't happen? What do Americans make of it when they do a search of the site and get the following result?

This makes me think of some very nasty dictatorships doing similar. Stalin was good a rewriting history. As was Hitler. The blatancy of this kind of censorship makes the US look like it is really close to some nasty episodes in history.

This is the result...
