George Galloway is Respect party MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in East London. He recently electrified the United States with his appearance at a Senate Permanent Subcommittee on
Investigations hearing on May 17, when he turned the proceedings into a condemnation of the war in Iraq. CNN's Wolf Blitzer described Galloway's speech in the Senate as "a blistering attack on US senators rarely heard" in Washington.
Also appearing in Los Angeles:
Pablo Paredes, Navy petty officer who refused to ship out to Iraq, currently serving 3 month hard labor sentence
Michel Shehadeh, LA 8, Palestinian rights activists framed by the government
