Never a doubt in my mind Scotty was on the take

I doubted that a lot. I thought it was more likely he was being blackmailed. This news actually improves my perception of Ritter, because it means maybe he wasn't screwing around with Iraqi children while he was over there (if he was committing treason for money, instead of being blackmailed). Or maybe it's a combination of the two...

That's quite a statement on Ritter's character, that bribery for treason puts him in a better light than alternative explanations for his actions.
