Ritter is out of his league. Hitchens will eat him alive. Regardless of Hitchens' politics, he's a very smart guy. Scotty needs to stick with little girls.

In case someone forgot...

An attorney for Scott Ritter confirmed that the outspoken former U.N. weapons inspector, who says President Bush should be impeached for his Iraq policy, was arrested a year and a half ago.

Norah Murphy said Ritter was arrested in the upstate New York town of Colonie in June 2001, but she would not respond to allegations that he was charged with soliciting an underage girl on the Internet. Ritter lives in the Albany, N.Y., suburb of Delmar.

The Schenectady Daily Gazette and New York Daily News report Ritter allegedly had an online sexual discussion with someone he thought was an underage girl. The "girl," however, turned out to be an undercover police investigator, according to the Daily News, whose sources spoke on condition of anonymity.

WTEN-TV, the ABC affiliate in Albany, is reporting that Ritter contacted the "teen-age girl" twice within a three-month period in 2001, and that he underwent court-ordered sex-offender counseling from a psychologist in New York's capital.

Sources tell the Albany Times-Union that Ritter actually had two run-ins with police. The first occurred in April 2001, as the former Marine reportedly drove to a Colonie business to meet what he thought was a 14-year-old girl. He was reportedly questioned by officers, and released without a charge.

Hitchens may be a Socialist, but from reading and hearing him through the years, he's an intellectually honest one. Hitchens could give Cicero a run for his money, so Ritter should be mincemeat by opening statements.

I see this as "No Contest" -- Ritter is either a bought-off traitor or being blackmailed for his "proclivities." Either way, Hitchen has him by the nads, no matter what.

Hitchens will destroy him.

I wonder how much money Ritter took from Saddam. I have to believe he was on the take - like Galloway.

"In 1990, Scott Ritter divorced his wife to marry 19 year old Marina Khatiashvili, a Russian Model recruited and used by the KGB to sexually compromise US Intelligence Sources in the 1980's during the Nuclear Disarmament Period."
