Galloway: OK to bomb PM


CREEPY MP George Galloway was slammed as "twisted" last night — for saying an ASSASSINATION of Tony Blair would be morally justified.
His rant came as it was revealed plans to protect the PM from terrorist attacks were lost in a security blunder.
Respect MP Galloway,was speaking during a magazine interview.
He was asked: "Would the assassination of, say, Tony Blair by a suicide bomber — if there were no other casualties — be justified as revenge for the war on Iraq?"
Galloway, 51, replied: "Yes, it would be morally justified. I am not calling for it — but if it happened it would be of a wholly different moral order to the events of 7/7. It would be entirely logical and explicable.
And morally equivalent to ordering the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Iraq — as Blair did."
The MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in East London, was interviewed in GQ magazine. Labour MP Stephen Pound said: "These comments take my breath away. Galloway is disgraceful and truly twisted.
"Every time you think he can’t sink any lower he goes and stuns you again. It’s beyond reprehensible to say it would be justified for a suicide bomber to assassinate anyone."
The Stop The War Coalition said: "We don’t agree with Tony Blair’s actions. But neither do we agree with suicide bombers or assassinations."
Galloway is being investigated over claims he received oil money from Saddam Hussein, which he denies. And a newspaper revealed he was pals with Saddam’s murderous son Uday.
Plans to protect Mr Blair marked "restricted" and "confidential" were found by a guest at Manchester’s Midland Hotel. The PM is expected to stay at the Midland during the Labour conference in September.
The file detailed possible attempts using suicide bombers, car bombs, mortars or rockets. Security checkpoints were also listed. It was handed to police, who are investigating.
It is thought the plans were left lying around by one of the hotel staff after talks on security with police officers.
