Baghdad pressuring Ritter?
Wolfowitz says Baghdad has history of blackmailing weapons inspectorsRitter

– who confirmed yesterday that he was arrested in June 2001 but refused to give details – has dramatically reversed his position on Iraq's weapons threat and become an outspoken critic of the U.S., telling WND last week that President Bush should be impeached for his policy toward Baghdad.

"In the past, Iraq did not hesitate to use pressure tactics to obtain information about the inspectors," Wolfowitz said today in a speech before the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.

Noting that often the pressure was "quite crude," Wolfowitz said that during the previous inspection period in the 1990s, "one inspector was reportedly filmed in a compromising situation and blackmailed."
