I'm open to anyone's convincing argument that Ritter is other than either a liar or an idiot.

"What happened? How could such a transformation occur? "

Money.

This makes sense.

Scott Ritter was a disgrace in the American uniforum and now a disgrace to America.I honestly believe he's being paid by Saddam to defend him on all the talk shows.

[bok]

He's a traitor and a UN lackey.

For this scenario to be true, Scott Ritter would have to be one of the best actors in the history of acting. The man has teamed up with radical peaceniks. His 180 could more easily be explained by alien abduction than by conscious CIA manipulation.

In the press conference he gave (aired on C-SPAN 5 times), sponsored by Rep Kucinich, he kept referencing the idea that the inspectors could have done their job if they hadn't been manipulated into acting as spies against Saddam. He appeared quite disturbed by this idea. I was wondering if he had been brainwashed somewhere.

Next time you see Ritter on TV< watch his nostrils, they go crazy when he starts off on these tangents...I read somewhere that that's an indication of lying...

[ex-snook]

Seems like people assume he is now a liar because he doesn't agree with them. I heard him the other night. He was the first one I have heard say we removed the inspectors. About everyone else is giving the impression that Saddam kicked them out. If we really wanted inspectors there, we would have left them. Maybe we don't want the world to know that he has zilch. It would spoil the media image.

This from the guy with the Condit/Haitian gay sex biker ring??And why should anyone believe him now?

[smorgle]

Years ago a man wise in the ways of Washington once told me, "Once someone is on the CIA payroll, they are always on the CIA payroll."

If so, that would apply to Bush, Sr., too.

[Servant of the Nine]

Ritter is making a documentary about Iraq which is financed by $400,000 from an Iraqi-American man, Shakir al-Khafaji.

But that does not explain Ritter's conversion in the first place.

It explains everything with crystal clarity. Ritter sold out and went to the other side. No conspiracy or plot necessary, just plain old everyday greed.
