You miss the point repeatedly. This is not about Scott Ritter. I am not a fan or supporter of him. This is about tyranny and the rights of US citizens. No rationalization or justification of illegal USG actions should be based on whether I like or detest someone personally. Look what the judicial system is doing to Trump.
We need to know why the USG confiscated Ritter’s passport.
I don’t care if they roll up and murder Ritter in broad daylight.
Does that answer your question? When it comes to Ritter, I DON’T CARE!
