"(* My note: Ritter went on in that same interview to try to tone down that remark, but it is clear something happened between December 1998 and June 1999 that put him over the edge.)"

One has to ask what exactly happened to Ritter, and by whom. I do not believe the full answer is about his "sex" history. From everything I have read Ritter was never to have been outed over his "sex" charges. Second time offender should have given him jail time and that did not happen.

1999 : (FORMER UNSCOM INSPECTOR SCOTT RITTER GETS BOOK DEAL FROM SIMON & SCHUSTER) This is not [former UNSCOM inspector Scott] Ritter's first attempt to share his insights and first-hand experience of weapons inspection. In 1999, he landed a quarter-million-dollar book deal with Simon & Schuster to tell his story in Endgame: Solving the Iraq Problem - Once and for All. Critics called it "muddled" and it did not attain the notoriety or praise Ritter had hoped for. That's why he pursued the idea of making a documentary. "My driving mission is to tell the world that the inspection process has been hijacked by the Bush administration," Ritter explains. -- "Ritter Rides The Peace Train; EX-U.N.
