Respect MP George Galloway will not be permitted to enter Canada on grounds of "national security". The powerful pro-Israel lobby is delighted. The barring comes days after former US president George Bush spoke in Calgary over the protests of prominent human rights lawyers who said Canadian law demands 'credible' war crimes suspects be barred or prosecuted.

Galloway called the decision "idiotic" and vows to challenge it.
