[My Favorite Headache]

Scott Ritter live interview coming on Fox News in seconds....starting a live thread for those watching and not watching

[A CA Guy]

Scott is having his supposed facts held up the the light. The FOX News guy is saying to his face that his facts are wrong.
What is the background of this Scott Ridder(sp)? Greenpeace and Berkley I would think?
Any links to this guys bio and past anywhere? Please!

[twyn1]

not sure about how it can be stored...Anthrax is relatively unstable and short-lived...but it is not all that hard to produce

[exmarine]

Ritter is either a hypocrite -- 4 years ago he was saying the opposite of what he is saying today -- or he has been bought. Either way, this man should be given no air time as his views have no credibility.

[Arkinsaw]

I think his doc needs to rethink whatever meds he is on.

[austingirl]

David said to Ritter's face that people are calling him a traitor. All right.

[js1138]

Anthrax is a virus, correct?

Wrongo. It's a bacteria, but it forms spores that live indefinitely. In the soil it lasts for centuries.

[AmishDude]

I read somewhere (probably on FR) that Ritter's wife came from the former Soviet Union. Is it possible Saddam has threatened her family? Iraq had close ties to the USSR. I can't say for sure, but there's some threat/reward system effecting him.

Having sat in on some live news interviews before I can tell you that David Asman's ear right now is being fed one question at a time from people like us in their newsroom...calling the shots on this. Asman has his follow up's which are his. They are nailing him.

[Digger]

It must be BLACKMAIL.

[twyn1]

"I am trying to stop a war" "I am not anti-aAmerican" "I am pro-marine" "Make the case Mr. Bush"

[Robe]

Could Scott Ritter have been "brain washed" by the Iraqi government?

That is assuming there was some laundry in the hamper to begin with !!

[Cagey]

What a dangerous, confident, slick crook!

He's only dangerous if people believe him. I saw him being interviewed on the Today show this morning and he looks like he is about to blow a head gasket.

[Arkinsaw]

Man, he is totally losing it. Had to admit that his Iraqi sponsor has Iraqi government contacts at the highest levels and that this guy's family is still over there (under Saddam's thumb).

He should just get up and walk out because its not going to get better.

[workerbee]

I swear, the more I see of Scott Ritter, the more I believe in alien body invasion. This just isn't the same guy we saw a few years ago -- that, or Iraq is holding something so drastic over him that he feels treason is his only option.

[twyn1]

I think he was talking about military grade anthrax, or the stuff that can be sprayed from planes

[Wingsofgold]

HehehHEHEEH. Yep, old Jitter's Ritter. HEY RITTER, kinda hard to find them labs if YOU DON'T LOOK. Huh? Old Jitter's, when receiving HARD intelligence about possible portable labs, would DELAY action, usin excuse after excuse. Shuffle paper, makin phone calls, brushin his damned teeth, anyTHING but inspect. HOURS later announcin there was no need ta go look into it, as there was no reason to believe Iraq had portable labs, as there was no PROOF. Leastwise thas what I've READ he did. Heheheheee. REMEMBER RITTER???????????

[L,TOWM]

>>>>>>Anthrax is relatively unstable and short-lived<<<<<<

Not correct. Anthrax SPORES can lie dormant and still be active (for the skin type anthrax) for decades when it is naturally occuring. There is still an island off the Scottish coast that the Brits conducted Anthrax experiments on during WWII that is STILL off limits to all...

This guy is chuck full of Barbara Streisand.

[hellinahandcart]

Which group did this arrogant so-an-so say paid for his recent trip to Iraq? I didn't quite catch it. Something "Advocacy" something. We need to google it.

[Wingsofgold]

I certainly hope SO. WOuld be mighty stoopid of us NOT to use ANY opportunity to gain intelligence on what Saddam's up to.
