It's clear that Ritter's an ass.

He is, isn't he?

Exclusive: Scott Ritter in His Own Words. The former weapons inspector explains his switch from getting up Saddam's nose to picking fights with Bush

You've spoke about having seen the children's prisons in Iraq. Can you describe what you saw there?

The prison in question is at the General Security Services headquarters, which was inspected by my team in Jan. 1998. It appeared to be a prison for children — toddlers up to pre-adolescents — whose only crime was to be the offspring of those who have spoken out politically against the regime of Saddam Hussein. It was a horrific scene. Actually I'm not going to describe what I saw there because what I saw was so horrible that it can be used by those who would want to promote war with Iraq, and right now I'm waging peace.

Yes, in more ways than one:

To: Dog

Shaker Al-Khafaji, the pro-Saddam chairman of the 17th conference of Iraqi expatriates, received 1 million barrels. - "The Beneficiaries of Saddam's Oil Vouchers," http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1067157/posts?page=120#120

You know who he is?

Scott Ritter in Pro-Iraq Movie Deal

EXCERPT:

Saddam's one-time nemesis managed to secure the unprecedented access through the help of Shakir al-Khafaji, an Iraqi-American real estate ...
Ritter confessed that al-Khafaji, who accompanied him to Iraq, is "openly sympathetic with the regime in Baghdad." The well-connected businessman was apparently instrumental in getting him interviews with top Iraqi officials.

Yes, I came across a News Max article in my Google, but the name can be found in many articles about Ritter's movie. In the interest of time, I grabbed the first article I found. I recognized the name.
