But in 2002, a year after Ritter acquired a dirty little secret of his own, Hussein suddenly became beyond suspicion.

And this, in itself, has precisely what relevance? The entire article is an example of an ancient logical fallacy: Post hoc ergo propter hoc. (One event follows another, therefore one event has been caused by another.)

Fortunately, not everyone is fooled.

Greetings Greybird, FReepers, et al:

Fortunately, not everyone is fooled.

How correct you are. As a Gulf War vet with a keen interest in middle eastern culture, I could not help but notice. I've followed the metamorphous of former UNSCOM inspector, and now peace activist Scott Ritter. Ritter's Iraq message shifts, as his moral compass deviates, a full 180 degrees. The $400,000.00 unjust enrichment, from an Iraqi businessman with close ties to Saddam Hussein raised my eyebrows too. No one does international business trade in Iraq, without Saddam's consent. Ritter's evasiveness with answers makes a reasonable person suspicious.

Ever since Ritter described the Iraqi children’s political prison in the Time Magazine story. Ritter asserts if we knew what went on in that children’s prison; that even Justin Raimondo, (oh, *so cool,* lik'a Doonsbury cartoon with the cigarette hanging from his lip) might demand war with Iraq.
