Here is an interesting question: when EXACTLY did Ritter start acting so loony on television? ...Furthermore, it would be interesting to know if there is ANOTHER charge elsewhere, hanging over his head. It would also be interesting to know WHO caused the case to be dropped and why this was concealed from the DA.

Great questions, MM. I'd like to know the answers as well - they could explain a lot.

Another thing I don't understand is why the networks keep putting him on, when it's obvious his views are 180 degrees from what they were when he returned from Iraq. Maybe they think we have short memories?

All socialists are hypocrites, they have to be because socialism historically ALWAYS FAILS. It's nothing for a network to put a liar and hypocrite on TV, all their Dem & RINO buddies are just that, liars and hypocrites.

Here is my recollection about Ritter from my own initial impressions of him and his turn.

After 9/11 there was the talk about Atta meeting in Prague with an agent of Saddam Hussein. One night Fox News announced Scott Ritter would be on to discuss a possible link between Iraq and the terrorists. I distinctly recall assuming that Ritter was anti-Iraq and would take the position that it posed a danger to the world and would consider this link possible, etc. My jaw dropped as he began speaking his new point of view.

Now perhaps he changed before that, but that was when I recall the change garnered wide-spread attention.
