The media still doesn’t want to consider the possibility that he was blackmailed by Saddam into flipping his testimony.
And more people can probably tell you the name and political party of the man who was caught tapping his toe in an airport washroom than know that Scott Ritter has a history of sexual predator charges.
“The media still doesn’t want to consider the possibility that he was blackmailed by Saddam into flipping his testimony.”
Or perhaps blackmailed by a domestic politician, one who could influence the police and courts into letting him stay free. The left invested lots in “Bush Lied”, and for Ritter to go around chirping that there was WMD in Iraq would spoil that investment. Not that Hussein was not involved too!
Given Ritter’s sudden shift from barking-dog weapons inspector to pro-Saddam documentarian, I’d say it’s a ridiculously strong possibility. Of course, the media never touched it. Nor did they ever explore why in the world a weapons inspector with no film-making credentials was given hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a propaganda film for a mass murdering dictator.
