GALLOWAY CONNECTED TO ARAFAT?

The British MP whose name turned up in secret Iraqi files has a curious relationship with Yasser Arafat, too:

Galloway shares a Glasgow flat with wife Aminah Abu-Zayyhad, a niece of PLO chief Yasser Arafat.

So...Galloway has married into the Middle East's oldest terrorist's family, making him part of the clan. And people chide Bush for being friendly with Saudi Prince Bandar.

This story has me very curious about something. Obviously, someone should be hunting high and low for Scott Ritter's name in those files. His dramatic flip from hawk to dove demands scrutiny. But to broach an entirely indelicate subject, might there be some lefty Dems on the Iraqi payroll as well? I can think of at least three off the top of my head--Reps. Jim McDermott, David Bonior and MikeThomson--who had questionable travel itineraries in the run-up to the Iraq war. And then there's Rep. Patty Murray, who praised Osama bin Laden's charitable giving, Rep. Kaptur who compared Osama to America's founders, etc. I could be wrong about this--probably am, actually, since it's likely the aforementioned Dems are just run-of-the-mill idiots useful to our enemies--but I do hope the Marines are scanning for American names in those files. If we have collaborators of Galloway's calibre, we need to know about it.
