True, Iraq did amend the report but as I recall they never exceeded the amounts that we and the Europeans sold/gave them in the 80’s. Sloppiness? I don’t know what the reason was. Saddam always struck me as a guy that would tell you anything if(he thought it would) it got you to do what he wanted. Saddam kicking out the inspectors was a bad move on his part as he was reasonably successful in corralling them into meaningless activities for the most part.
Ritter? While his work has proven to be reasonably completed and vetted. I can tell you among folks I know that were involved he is regarded with disdain. I can never seem to get to the truth as to why many flat do not like nor trust him.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Hadn’t seriously thought about Iraqi WND’s in years.
With Ritter there was something about a honey trap, an underage girl, and pictures.
Maybe the fact that he's a pedophile? There's that.
Perhaps it has something to do with his two arrests for sexual approaches to young (underage) girls, and his conviction in 2010. He was just paroled 18 months ago.
