Well, he met that Russian in 1988.

This if from an interview he did which is kind of awkward to post. If he really saw this and believes this, how could he turn his back on it? Now I have to wonder if he was just there picking up chicks. :

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

A: 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.

Anyone willing to bet that this isn't the first time Ritter has committed a crime like this? Perhaps the Iraqis caught him earlier and "convinced" him to help them.

Why would he have seen a children's prison, as a UN inspector? Whhat was he doing there? (A very unwholesome thought has crossed my mind.)

Didn't Scottie say that Mr. Compassion threw a few bottles of water into a cell at the children's prison? What a guy.
