January 21, 2003 -- Former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter has been all over the news lately, defending Saddam Hussein against the Bush administration's accusations that he's harboring weapons of mass destruction.

Once Iraq's strongest critic, Ritter in recent years has come to regard America as "the arrogant international bully" - and never passes up a media opportunity to say so.

Maybe Scott was to be paid $400,000 and 70 pre-adult female children by Iraq. How do we know that is not true now?

Thanks, that answers my question.

The $400,000 that an "Iraqi businessman" paid Ritter for making a "documentary film" was just a smokescreen.

Jailbait. Waiting in a wrapper with bows at Baghdad Airport, any time Scottieboy stops by to pay the Great Leader a visit.

My guess at Ritter's chatroom handle?

Much more dirt to come, no doubt, only to be covered up by the leftist media. Will they really have the gall to keep parading him around in support of Saddam? Or, will Ritter slink off quietly somewhere? Stay tuned...

"you must have the wrong person."

With "intelligence" officers like this, it's a wonder the Marines are even still in existence. What an idiot.

That's a pretty full report. Obviously the NY Post has been lurking here.

Yes. Such people used to be screened for sensitive jobs, because of the vulnerability to blackmail. Guess it doesn't matter anymore....

I've been thinking the same thing---adverse information. For the close to eight years I had a security clearance (all during the Cold War), adverse information was a constant carrot/stick routine for keeping or losing a clearance. The carrot was keeping the clearance because of coming totally clean on adverse information, while the stick was losing it if adverse information was discovered (before you were blackmailed with it, of course). The joke on coming clean was that usually adverse information was grounds for not keeping a clearance in the first place, so it was blackmail of a different sort---tell us or lose it, okay you told us, the other side can't blackmail you now, but we don't like what you told us, so you still lose it.

In any event, I guess adverse information went away with the Soviets because there seem to be an awful lot of people out there with sensitive access who have adverse information by the boatload. The members of Congress whom the Klintoons have by the FBI file short hairs and Ritter being prime examples.
