Ritter may have had an earlier arrest (Report suggests prior run-in with police)

Ritter's attorney, Norah Murphy, confirms her client was arrested in June 2001, but will not discuss the details of the case because the records have been sealed.

Ritter is so far over his head, he can see light.

[harpseal]

I note that this arest correlates with his change of opinion on Saddam Hussein WMD program

[finnman69]

There is a video clip of the story on the page under the mug shot.

I was gonna ask, when did Ritter flip?

[dhuffman@awod.com]

When did he 'flip'? Likely the first time he tried to perform a sex act with himself. He seem a bit portly to get 'that' there.

[Hoboken]

On CNN.com you'll find articles about Ritter in chronological order. It seem he starts getting weird in '98. About the time Saddam's son-in-law defected.

[harpseal]

Sometime shortly after WJC left office. this of course was 1991 and maybe it had something to do with the first arrest and someone having some information about him that he did not wish to become public. He really came back on the radar screen after September 11, 2001. I further note that the Bush administration did not bring this matter out when her first started defending Saddam's regime.

#What the exact story is we shall never know

[Quilla]

I see your source is MSNBC. Maybe this story will get legs with the mainstream after all. Thanks for the post.

When he left Iraq--he said Saddam still had WMD. The Inspectors were booted in 1998 and he started turning. Could it be that Iraq had some incriminating photos (you know, goat pictures) that they didn't use until all Inspectors were out? Could there be more inspectors that they have compromised? Past and present?

[SerpentDove]

>>Could there be more inspectors that they have compromised? Past and present?<<

That is an interesting thought, and unfortunately, likely.

The post you have regarding our TV station is wrong.  The tape we
have is of the mug shot of William Scott Ritter on the day of his
arrest on June 22nd, 2002.  We are airing this tape and continue to
air it.  It is also on our web site.  We have no tape of him being
handcuffed.  If we did have it we would air it without question.  I
would appreciate a correction to the post regarding this or perhaps
you can just post this note.

Hmmm, we are on the WNYT radar screen. I will dress up before I post from now on.

[Jim Robinson]

No more posting in your underwear. And comb your hair!

[ofMagog]

Knock it off. It is against the law in all states to pick on the mentally afflicted.

[razorback-bert]

I ain't mentally afflicted, I just drunk.

2001?
