The current news story today in the UK, and probably in the US, will be the US Senate's latest rehash of old alegations over George Galloway. The bigest story should be the 2,000th death of US service men and women, dieing for the US senators, especially Mr Coleman and his cronies.

This is the perfect example of international spin at its best. George's story is well publicised at the begining of every BBC radio and TV news article today:

Yet again it offers no new evidence, or is such evidence properly presented. It is pure spin.

Why then all this spin? Well, that is obvious, as we are reaching a milestone today, waiting for the 2000th US service man/women, and the 100th UK serviceman/women to die in Iraq. It will no doubtedly be today or tomorrow for the 2000th US death in Iraq, and god forbid the 100th UK death.

The spin has been in waiting for some time now. Maybe Tony will provide more spin and distraction today.
