It seemed to get its best coverage via NPR. The mainstreamers touched on it in ways that skewed things to keep Galloway looking like a nut-job/villain, but NPR aired some of the verbatim exchanges, including his calling the investigation the 'mother of all smokescreens', engineered to distract the public from the USA's own problems in/with Iraq, both before and after Saddam. He had some very good albeit nasty points to make, and the senators seemed rather desperate to get him done and off the mike while trying to make him look as bad as they could...which they didn't seem to succeed well at doing.

So if you were listening to the 'real news' over here, you got a good look at the real dynamics of the story. But if you got it from the TV outlets, etc, it was more like "Wacky Brit pol screeches at righteous Americans".
