thank you. just got in and catching up to today's news.

[Grampa Dave]

As you know, Free Republic is the best place to catch up with the news. In this news about Ritter, we are a couple of light years ahead of even the conservative talk shows and we can measure how far ahead of ABCNNBCBS!

There is a lot of good data on that link. Be sure to read The Great Satan's replies very carefully. He has been monitoring Ritter for a long time and has a lot of data on Ritter.

...the timing is definitely suspicious," he said. "I have no insights as to who or why....

Ha!

There must have been some chuckles and high-fiving at the WH, when Ritter's been on TV, and they've known they could lower the boom on him any time they wanted. I wonder if someone at the Schenectady Gazette (or whichever it was) is in trouble? Surely this was supposed to be big news on Peace Activist Weekend, not three days later.

#17 lol...

Libertarians obviously do not endorse pedophilia, as the crime has an obvious victim. But you knew that.

Ritter voted for Bush, BTW.

[aristeides]

Sounds as if there was no need for the judge to leak this story. Does Catherine Crier owe somebody an apology?

[Grampa Dave]

Right, the only coverup of this story has been by the left wing mediots who control the media in NY for the past two years.

What did CC say? I can't stand to watch her moan, bitch and whine while spewing DNC mantras as news?

[cmsgop]

BRILLANT!!!! You are a Smart Man!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!

[aristeides]

What did CC say?

I didn't watch her either, but my understanding from what was reported here on FR was that she said the judge had worked for Bush in FL and was the one who leaked the news about Ritter.

[cyncooper]

So, do you have any thoughts on Ritter's pervy ways?

What do you think of the news today that at least one inspector was blackmailed by Iraq. Any thoughts on who that might be?

If it does turn out that Ritter was, in fact, blackmailed for his reprehensible behavior, I hope you can muster up some indignation over that.

[cyncooper]

Ritter voted for Bush, BTW.

He says.

His word is worth less than nothing, in my book.

[Grampa Dave]

Does anyone believe anything that Ritter has said in a long time?

[cyncooper]

Does anyone believe anything that Ritter has said in a long time?

I don't know if certain media and leftists *believed* him, but they certainly wanted him to serve as a leading anti-war voice and Bush administration critic.

IF those media types knew that he was involved in activity that made him susceptible to blackmail, yet presented him as a legitimate spokesman for "the cause", I consider them, well,--I hesitate to use the word,--I'll say I consider them in the same category.

And perhaps it was thought that if he said he voted for President Bush that would make his criticism more impressive. (I, of course, have no idea who he voted for)

John Gibson making his "Last Word" about Ritter.

..what do you think of the news today that at least one inspector was blackmailed by Iraq. Any thoughts on who that might be?...

Ritter, I guess.

Here's a guy who has such strong perverted urges that, two months after being busted on similar charges, and while under investigation by the FBI, he fell for the simplest of honey traps. You can't tell me that sort of behaviour suddenly developed in 2001. They knew about it when he was selected for the UNSCOM team. The only real question is, was he ordered to play along with the Iraqi setup, or did they found out about it later? Given that it's generally accepted that UNSCOM had more than its share of US spies aboard, my guess is the former. Whatever, you've got to give the CIA its due. One can only guess at the value of the material Ritter's turned over during debriefings. And then to undercut the 'peace' movement like this, just before the war starts? What a champagne finish to a great asset. There'll be some admiring nods at Mossad HQ over this one, if they weren't already in on it.

[Howlin]

Ha! He blasted him! Especially about continuing to act like HE has a part in war and peace!

[dead]

He says he did. It doesn't matter one way or another - the guy's a pedophile.

I was just pointing out the idiocy of the comment by jim_trent that he is now qualified to run as a Libertarian candidate.

It just gets tiresome watching this collection of idiots who try to turn every single thread on this forum into a Libertarian thread. This thread is about Scott Ritter - Pedophile. It has nothing to do with his affiliation.

I voted for Bush, btw.

[cyncooper]

After giving a thumbnail sketch of the Ritter story, Gibson played a clip of Ritter saying (paraphrase):

"This is about war and peace...etc."

Gibson's summary (also paraphrased:

"Reality check: War and peace should be handled by those with enough sense to leave the kids alone."

[cyncooper]

It just gets tiresome watching this collection of idiots who try to turn every single thread on this forum into a Libertarian thread.

I agree.

[dead]

I really hope they're that efficient and cunning.

But I'm not as sure as you.
