Source?

I checked CSMonitor. No story. Daily Telegraph has their own files, no story.

BTW, what happened to those Telegraph files "Security Council" "France" "United States", etc. No more stories. Intel seize them? Any new stories from David Blair over the past two days???

I'm keeping my eye on the Telegraph. It SOUNDS like David Blair found this though.

I also like how he said he "knew of the children's prison they showed him. It was horrible, but he won't speak of it because it would give us ammunition to go to war with Iraq."
Wonder how many of the kids there Sadman let Ritter use for his silence, being a bought and paid for man and all.

It is easy for us and some of the Fox people to get confused about who, what, when and where re money from the Iraqis.

stand by for espionage and perhaps treason charges.

As reported by hole_n_one on my thread:

C-SPAN just announced that Ritter is going to be somehow involved in a program airing tonight at 9:30 pm est.....they didn't elaborate, simply that at that time will be Scott Ritter.

Got popcorn? ;^)

The C-Span site says the 9:30 program is "TBA" - an appearance by Ritter? I doubt C-SPan would do a "story" about a breaking news issue.

BTW, the 1 1/2 hour program before "TBA" is "Forum - 1993 March for Lesbian and Gay Rights - National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Assn.

That's C-Span for you. On the cutting edge...

You may want to check this out. Snow said Ritter had been given money by a rich Iraqi (old news) and Galloway got money from Qusay (news that's about 2 days old). I think you may have confused the two reports.

I think you're right; Ritter has always admitted being paid by the Iraqis - he just claimed that it had no influence on him and denied any connection between Saddam and his close relative (who paid Ritter).

This sounds like an item Fox saves for Greta Van Lawyer's show at 10 PM. Seems to me that they hold some of these stories till then, so people will watch it.

This might just be speculation on Fox. Let's wait and see if there's evidence.

Saddam's sons did have more effective methods for getting young girls than seducing them at Burger King. Maybe that was part of the pay-off.

"I think you're right; Ritter has always admitted being paid by the Iraqis - he just claimed that it had no influence on him and denied any connection between Saddam and his close relative (who paid Ritter)."

How else do you think Ritter was able to afford that babe magnet of his...

Scotty, you have been a very bad boy and if they find evidence of Saddam supporting your sorry a$$, then I hope you never see the light of day the rest of your life!

Normally this wouldn't be the case, but there is a big difference between your headline "money from Saddam's son" and "heard on Fox news that Scott Ritter was on the Iraqi dole."

The British reporter, David Blair, has documents from the Intelligence Headquarters. The Christian Science Monitor reporter has documents that came from one of Qusay's houses. The CSM reporter is the one who had documents about Galloway that were signed by Qusay.

So which was it: did they specifically say "from Saddam's son?" Did they mention Qusay by name?

My post from an earlier thread on this.


George Galloway is a crook — how convenient(Scott Ritter)

" The message I heard him deliver that night was one of human kindness and compassion. He spoke out against the suffering of the Iraqi people under the effects of a decades-long economic embargo"




I think he meant the "oil for palaces" program, but.... what do I know. It isn't a surprise that Scottie was there for a speech by Galloway. The two probably got their pay from the same source. And got some extra-curricular activities from the same source as well. *sigh*
