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.
