ALBANY, N.Y., Jan. 22 - Until now, former U.N. weapon's inspector Scott Ritter has declined to speak about allegations he was arrested in an Internet sex sting 19 months ago. However, NewsChannel 13 reached Ritter by phone Wednesday and for the first time he discussed the arrest and the sealed court documents.
...snip...
"The case was dismissed. Therefore it never happened," Ritter said Wednesday.
"I stood in a court of law, before a judge and an assistant district attorney, and they dismissed it," he added.
But the court of public opinion has a different view. The story of Ritter's arrest and the subsequent dismissal of his case first broke over the weekend and dominated headlines in the days that followed.
"I am deeply saddened [by all of the media attention]. Not by anything I've done though."
Ritter refused to speak to NewsChannel 13 on camera. When offered the chance to tell his side of the story on television, he replied, "I'm saying it now."

"The case was dismissed. Therefore it never happened," Ritter said Wednesday. Kind of like, "The inspections in Iraq were stopped before we finished, so therefore Iraq has no WMD".
Ritter, go pull your pud and leave the world's problems to the adults.

Exactly!
And how about this:
"I am deeply saddened [by all of the media attention]. Not by anything I've done though."

Maybe he is saying he was set up.

Not a speck of shame. Probably continuing the behavior. He'll be caught again. Any bets whether he'll do time next time.

I had to excerpt the article, being NBC related. But the writer relates the idea that in the court's eyes too "it didn't happen."
I don't think the legal nuances will bail him out in public, though.

Oooh, hey alright then. That ticket I got when I was a teenager for driving on the wrong side of a feeder road never happened because I took defensive driving to get rid of it. And that time I stole candy from my brother never happened because he never found out about it. And Hildabeast never got elected because she is ugly and has back-hair. I like Ritter's logic.

"The case was dismissed. Therefore it never happened," Ritter said Wednesday.Since he refuses to deny doing anything wrong, this is a de facto admittance that he has tried to lure girls to parking lots so they can watch him masturbate.
Just take a monent to reflect upon how sick and scary that is.

"The case was dismissed. Therefore it never happened"
ok.... I slept through my birthday so it never happened-----He had his fingers crossed when he lied, so it wasn't a lie----It depends what the meaning of is "is"
I am SICK OF THIS CRAP. Thanks clinton
