Traitor now a pedophile

A RENEGADE weapons inspector who embraced Saddam’s vile regime has been exposed as a child sex pervert.

Scott Ritter, 41, has TWICE been caught by cops as he waited to meet schoolgirls he lured in internet chat rooms.

He wanted one of the girls, who was 16, to watch him commit a sordid sex act. The other girl was just 14.

Sicko Ritter, a married dad-of-two, has been branded a traitor in the US for spouting pro-Iraq views.

And the former US marine stunned the world last September by addressing the Iraqi parliament.

He told Saddam Hussein’s cronies that George Bush was on the verge of making a “historic mistake” by going to war.

And in the same month he was a key speaker at an anti-war demo in London attended by Lefties Ken Livingstone and Tony Benn.

Gulf War veteran Ritter led UN teams hunting for Saddam’s arsenal from 1991 to 1998. But he now naively insists the tyrant has destroyed all his chemical and biological weapons.

Ritter’s first arrest for an alleged child sex offence came when he was caught waiting for a girl of 14 at a restaurant in Albany, New York state.

He had enticed her into a meeting during a conversation in a chat room.

He managed to dodge charges because officers thought the language he had used to her was too vague to secure a prosection.

But just two months later he was caught again — this time waiting for a 16-year-old girl at a Burger King.

The girl was actually a cop who had posed as a youngster on the web to snare child sex predators.

This time Ritter, who has young twin daughters, was charged with child endangerment, a crime carrying a maximum 90-day jail sentence.

But amazingly he ESCAPED prosecution after reaching a deal with a junior official.

Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Preiser agreed no further action would be taken if he stayed out of trouble for six months and attended sex offender counselling.

But Preiser has now been fired for cutting the sensitive deal without the permission of her boss.

Furious District Attorney Paul Clyne: “I’m not happy. Given the nature of the offence, this was not an appropriate way to handle it.”

Internet child safety expert Parry Aftab also declared: “His case should never have been dismissed.

“The problem is that people have trouble seeing white, middle-class, well-educated men as potential child abusers.”

Ritter was once a fierce critic of Saddam. He quit as a weapons inspector because he said they were being too SOFT on the Iraqi regime.

He even insisted that Iraq should be “subjected to a major campaign that seeks to destroy the regime”.

But he quickly changed his views and is now America’s most outspoken critic of a possible war.

He insists any attempt to depose Iraq would be “illegal and imperial”.

And he has even accused Washington of using UN inspectors to spy on Iraq.

Ritter’s lawyer confirmed yesterday that he had been arrested in June. But Ritter himself refused to comment.

I guess betraying your country is a 'gateway' crime.

Sicko Ritter...

Refreshing bluntness and fine adjective choices in this article!

Good find! Flynn certainly tells it like it is.

[TomGuy]

to watch him commit a sordid sex act

hmmmmm....Brian Flynn never did that? Saintly, that's what he is...and that glow is from his angelic face...and he probably suffers headaches---from his halo being on too tight.

“The problem is that people have trouble seeing white, middle-class, well-educated men as potential child abusers.”

I don't.

On this morning's Washington DC drive in radio show (WMAL) Clinton Kool-Ade drinker Bill Press was whining about "entrapment."

Poor Bill. His political heroes usually turn out to be rapists and/or pedophiles.

[JakeINJoisey]

You mean masturbating in front of a minor is, in YOUR book of sexual activities, a common diversion? Perhaps someone needs to check YOUR hard drive pal.......

[Republic of Texas]

Makes you wonder how Press spends his free moments.

[sport]

Kinda following in the footsteps of wjc, no?

You are taking your eyes off the ball. We are talking about Ritter here and not the reporter.

“The problem is that people have trouble seeing white, middle-class, well-educated men as potential child abusers.”

I don't.

I don't either. I wonder if the author really meant that, or does it just sound good to say it ?

[Republic of Texas]

To liberals, if it's good enough for their here Bill, it's good enough for them.

[Izzy Dunne]

Ritter, who has young twin daughters

You know, I wonder if his kids use the Internet.

[2timothy3.16]

Now he is a Democrat!

[2timothy3.16]

Now he is a Democrat!

heir apparant to the clinton/kennedy throne. If he announces, he shuld take the lead from al sharpton in a heart beat.

Look out lebermein

Any sex act committed with or in front of a minor is sordid.The attempted chatroom seduction by a middle aged father of two girls makes it uglier. Throw in the fact that this cretin is a traitor, and I don't think a halo is required to acknowlege that Ritter's mug shot should be printed beside "sordid" in the dictionary.

I see little difference between what is being done to Ridder with this latest revelation and what Bill Clinton did to those who "opposed" him. Scorched earth policy. The Clintons destroy people by the same smear tactics. It seems too many have learned how to use the Clinton playbook to their own advantage. I'm not defending Ridder's previous actions (arrest related and certainly not his stand or Iraq); however, his misdemeaner is a legal system situation. Character assassination is just that--and it is happening over a misdemeanor that had been settled. Talk about smelling blood! Smear tactics! Scorched earth character assassination! Clinton taught America so much!
