Delmar Weapons Inspector in Hot Water(updated: January 20th, 5:50pm) The spotlight is back on former UN Weapons Inspector and Delmar native, Scott Ritter. But it's not over Iraq instead its over charges he talked with an underage girl on the Internet.
The Daily Gazette broke the story over the weekend. The paper says Ritter was arrested in June of 2001 after having a sexual conversation on the Internet with someone he "thought" was an underage girl. The girl turned out to be an undercover investigator.
Sources tell NEWS10 that Ritter contacted what he thought was a teenage girl on the internet for the purpose of a sexual interlude not once, but twice within a three month period back in 2001. Ritter also underwent court-ordered sex offender counseling from an Albany psychologist.
He posts on all the Bush-hating sites. I suspect that CNN decided his objectivity would be in question. They made the decision using Pitt's words. I invented nothing. Can you smear someone with their own words? If he wants to be taken seriously as a writer rather than a RAT hack, perhaps he should dump the 4-letter words and hatred of Bush and Reagan. His words are a paper trail. I express intense hatred of Bill and Hillary, but I never expect to be on CNN. My business is protecting buildings from terrorist bastards, not being a for profit political writer.
I'll say it again. If he wanted to be on my show, I would do a serious interview and let him get out his info. I would, of course, challenge him on it. The rules would be no attacks on Clinton or Bush, no using the word Chimp or Sinkmaster, etc. I wouldn't even call Hillary Satan's Daughter. I can refrain from that for an hour.
2. The Clintons have far more influence in Albany, New York than do the Iraqis. I am willing to entertain the thought that Saddam is involved. Why do you dismiss Hillary so cavalierly? I have offered theories, you do nothing but mock my ideas.
3. Why are MY theories to be discounted, when your anthrax theories are posted over and over again? YOU have no PROOF that you are right. You are simply deducing a conclusion based on information you have gathered. I am doing the same.
Why are you so interested in protecting Hillary?
It wasn't even a crime -- except in our New World Order of "virtual" crime. There was NO victim. It was all playacting.
dep
Likelyhood of Hillary involvement? I'd guess higher than middlin'.
You are speaking from experience re: this not being earthshaking?
Any man who has to troll chatrooms to meet some underage girl, arrange to meet her, and then, in YOUR vernacular, "show her his wiener", is one sick pervert. Your defense of him makes me wonder if you have personal experience with this type of behavior.
If I had a 16 year-old daughter and she went onto an internet chat room and engaged in some dirty talk and lured a middle-age man into meeting her to put on a sexual performance I would (a) be quite p*ssed at both of them, (b) very possibly call the cops on the guy and (c) have enough sense of proportion not to be outraged if said individual, a first-time offender and a professional person, got away with a plea bargain and just had to do some counseling after being subjected to the shame of having his name and picture plastered on local TV. The real world is full of horney people trying to get in each others' pants. It's not the crime of the century if some middle aged guy gets seduced by a highschool cheerleader and they dry hump in a Burger King. This stuff happens.

The whole notion that Hillary Clinton has been pulling Scott Ritter's strings for the last four years using sexual blackmail is utterly absurd on multiple levels. I wouldn't even know where to start. It's prima facie ridiculous.

Hey, I'm not stopping you from posting your theories.
Why are you so interested in protecting Hillary?
Really, Miss Marple, I've always admired your posts and find myself in agreement with the vast majority of them. But you are sounding like a paronoid here. I am no supporter of Hillary Clinton -- quite the opposite. I just don't think she's the hidden hand behind everything that happens in the universe -- or even in Albany.
Not Scotty Scuddy Ritter Rooter for sure.
Former weapons inspector Scott Ritter has said that Saddam is not a threat
Scotts Movie Deal 2000
But before that he said: "Iraq today is not disarmed, and remains an ugly threat to its neighbors and to world peace."Testimony before the Senate 9/3/98
What a moronic, uninformed statement. It stopped being "playacting" when Ritter made arrangements and then physically entered the Burger King looking to hook up with his underage thrill toy. Sorry, Buster, maybe you and a few other morally-empty fools think that it is OK for 40-something guys to go trolling for underaged girls on the net, but a lot of US here don't. (And that goes for any Joe--not just famous or politically active Joes who troll.)
And, yeah the Monica's of the world and a few foolish tramps are willing--that still doesn't make it right. One doesn't have sex with underlings or take advantage of minors if one is morally sound. Contrary to what Bubba and others want you to believe, there are company/government policies and laws on the books for very good reasons. (You obviously don't agree with these policies or laws.) Just stay away from my nieces and my fellow FReeper's underage daughters...
Yup. That is why there are "sting operations" out there. To protect kids from perverts like Ritter--and some who are far worse. This is not "Minority Report." Ritter was out to take advantage of what he thought was a real live sex object. He knew it was illegal, yet he was willing to do it all the same. I hope he has learned his lesson. And I hope that law enforcement finds more of these sick, predatory creeps. Less chance of them hurting someone in the long run...
Well, he's certainly been trying to jerk us around.
Yes, this stuff happens. That is why it is ILLEGAL. We don't want MORE of it to happen!
There is quite possibly a connection between Clinton and Saddam. You do remember that Clinton did NOTHING about Iraq except talk for 8 years, don't you?
My theory may be a blind alley. HOWEVER, I am not discounting it simply because YOU say it is silly.
I daresay I may be righter about my theory than you are of yours. Time will tell.
