In Britain, the Daily Telegraph newspaper has been ordered to pay nearly $300,000 to the antiwar MP George Galloway. Galloway sued the paper for libel after it reported that he had received secret payments from Saddam Hussein through the oil-for-food program. Galloway said “This was done to me because I was a leader of the anti-war movement.” He went on to say “The real enemies of our state are those who have led us into this disaster in Iraq and those in parliament and the media who supported them.”
