[Chad Fairbanks]

Sleep well, my friend...

[Humidston]

I've always wondered what made Scott "flip" like he did... Figured it was either big $$$'s or blackmail.

[zeaal]

The arrests happened prior to 9/11 (if that means anything).

[Squantos]

Excellant tracking of the "stories" ......Was this guy really arrested or not ? Seems like a lot of evidence here to dismiss as myth.

Stay Safe Ya'll !

[Humidston]

Why is it that DUmmies always have to blame their problems on SOMEONE ELSE?? How lame they are! Why can't Scott just be a lousy little pervert?

I don't know about the rest of you FReepers, but I certainly didn't lead him into perversion.... He did it all by his own self, LOL!

[Howlin]

LOL!

[sweetliberty]

"Why can't Scott just be a lousy little pervert? "

I'm okay with that. ROTFL!

[Wolverine]

Yes, this bandwith is justified because of the following..

Ritter is on his way to Baghdad ((to see Saddam?)), but will be in New York City tomorrow to shoot an anti war message.

 

In the meantime.....

 

Ritter of Arabia: A former weapons inspector becomes Saddam's chief apologist.

 

Over the past two years, Al-Khafaji, an Iraqi-America Mr. Ritter has taken $400,000 from Shakirn businessman with ties to Saddam, to produce a documentary called, "In Shifting Sands." Mr. Ritter concedes that Mr. Al-Khafaji is "openly sympathetic with the regime in Baghdad." And that may be an understatement.

 

Mr. Al-Khafaji runs propaganda sessions for Saddam. Euphemistically known as "expatriate conferences," the biannual gatherings decry the "terrorism and genocide" the U.S. commits against the Iraqi people through U.N. sanctions.

Mr. Ritter claims Mr. Al-Khafaji had no editorial input on the film project, a claim he undermines by openly admitting that his benefactor is responsible for arranging Mr. Ritter's interviews with high-ranking Iraqi government officials, including chief propagandist, Tariq Aziz.

 

Even before his project was completed, Mr. Ritter predicted at a press conference that "the U.S. will definitely not like this film." These contacts no doubt helped Mr. Ritter earlier this month, when he returned to Baghdad and became the first American to speak before the Iraqi National Assembly.

I have been wondering about the timing of the news breaking. Ol' Scott has been doing his "anti-war" thing all over the place lately. Not to mention the little "gatherings" that were held this past the weekend. And, of course, now he's on the road to Baghdad...

/tinfoil?

[per loin]

My guess is that someone who knew the story, possibly one of the cops, got tired of seeing Ritter badmouthing the US on chanel after chanel. The story is still not being widely broadcast though. I think Fox was the only cable network that carried it today. For some reason, Drudge is not carrying it.

DU alert: Saddams' cabin boys over at the Democratic Underground are monitoring this thread.

Doug, I see you are pretty popular with them... They are talking about you and TLBSHOW over there. They have even posted your song. Geez, they are obsessed with Free Republic. I got a laugh at how they are actually trying to defend Scott Ritter and blaming his problems on a Free Republic smear campaign. What dolts.

Well, they defended Clintoon also, so I guess they are being consistent. Since they are monitoring this thread, I invite any Democrat to visit my FR page, and see why I became a Republican.

I thought about registering to post at DU. Think they would let me use my screen name there? ;^)

Here is an excerpt at DU;(defending Scott Ridder):
"While TLBSLOB and the other Freepers play wargames and smear patriots' names, more weapons are aimed in our direction. More angry voices raised against us. Our country slowly rots from within. While TLBSOFLARD is attacking men who are trying to keep the peace, our enemies are at the gates. And behind the walls of the Forbidden City, the Emperor eats pretzels."

[dixiechick2000]

"...someone who knew the story, possibly one of the cops, got tired of seeing Ritter badmouthing the US on chanel after chanel."

Good point. I know I'm tired of seeing him bad-mouth the US all over the place. If I had known about this, I would have "outed" him, too! ;o)

[doug from upland]

I try not to got there more than about once a month. I wouldn't have seen the info about Pitt and CNN if a FReeper hadn't made me aware of it.

re: "Our country slowly rots from within. While TLBSOFLARD is attacking men who are trying to keep the peace, our enemies are at the gates. And behind the walls of the Forbidden City, the Emperor eats pretzels."

Yes, our enemies are at the gates. Instead of peace demonstrations, we should be preparing to fight them.

[TLBSHOW]

Ritter is to blame and Pitt is to blame!

[Timesink]

Yes, our enemies are at the gates. Instead of peace demonstrations, we should be preparing to fight them.

Those weren't peace demonstrations, they were pro-Saddam demonstrations. Those people would cheer, if not volunteer, if we were about to go to war against Israel.

Looks like that DU poster is another 'Terrorism for DUmmies" handbook reader. :o

Sometimes a good police officer who has been gagged by the DA's and his chief, retires.

After he/she gets their first couple of pay checks, they have coffee with a good reporter and steer them in the right direction.

Or that retired cop tells the DA that he has 24 to 48 hours blow the cover before he goes to the Federal Attorney General's offfice.

If a grand jury is meeting, a few words from a retired cop can really light a fire under a DA, Mayor and Police helping a liberal buddy like Predator Ritter!
