I would be willing to bet a wad of cash Saddam’s Intelligence service had a folder on him 3 inches thick, and he was offered all the little girls he wanted while in Iraq in trade for his cooperation.
JMHO of course, but its the way I would lay my bets.

Are you kidding?
Oh, you mean because he “thought” he was actually committing a crime?
IIRC, he did receive some $400K for book? movie? from some Arab/Muslim entity....he now joins John Kerry’s greatest Anti-Swiftboat guy (name escapes me at this moment) in the Pederastry Hall of Fame!
You didn’t answer woofie, so I’ll ask you again: Would you feel better if he had done this to a real 15-year-old?
Read down the thread. Apparently not kidding.
Let us not forget two other hero’s of the left, one Bernie Ward, former KGO talk show host now serving a seven year term in a Texas prison for distributing child porn, and disbarred attorney Lynne Stewart, convicted of conspiracy, providing material support to terrorists, and defrauding the U.S. government, and now serving ten years in prison. They sure pick ‘em good.

“Yes.” - Scott Ritter
BTW, (old saying) if you're a sweaty, balding, obese 50 y.o with erectile dysfunction,living in mommy's basement communicating with a "luscious" 15 y.o who just can't wait to have sex with you, you're talking to a COP.
Of course not.
My only point is that the crime in question is purportedly "sexual contact with a minor," or something along those lines.
But there was no minor, so how did he have sexual contact with her?
Pedophiles are my ultimate personal nemesis that I despise above all others.
If I had the power to kill every single child rapist alive with the push of a button you’d think I was a contestant on Jeopardy with a brain-dead simple question.
I hear you........if it was up to me, I would make public hangings every Saturday with mandatory TV/Radio coverage!
Don’t get me wrong, I will be a happy camper when all of these low-life roaches are in the slammer for a long, long time. BUT, what kind of idiot in this day and age when everybody on the planet knows that if you think you’re IMing with a 15 year old hottie, it’s really going to be a badge you’re chatting with?
Let’s not forget, before he was a hero to the left, Ritter was a hero to the right.
Did you know that ‘planning’ to commit a crime is a crime?
It doesn’t matter if you actually commit the crime.
It’s a matter of ‘intent’. And that’s all that has to be proved.
Just like bankers that get busted for ‘intent to defraud’.
All it takes is evidence that the intent is real.
You can’t get more real than slapping the monkey in front of a cop thinking it’s a minor.
Intent is still a crime.
By that logic, if someone is given a shotgun to murder someone but the person giving them the shotgun was working undercover and filled it with blanks instead of bullets and they go to shoot the victim at point blank range, there was no crime committed because he only fired blanks, not a bullet? No murder occurred, so he can’t be charged with attempted murder? It was just a ‘thought crime’?
What about “virtual reality” kiddie porn? There are some (on the left) who defend this on the grounds that nobody was hurt. In fact, they say it may reduce actual molestation and may be a “cure”. Because molesters can get their jollies without hurting a real child. But the “intent” is still there.
