ALBANY - Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter was secretly prosecuted in Albany County in 2001 after he was snared in an Internet sex sting operation, law enforcement sources told the Daily News.

Ritter, who lives in the Albany suburb of Delmar, is now a high-profile critic of President Bush's war preparations.

He was arrested by Colonie Police in June 2001 on a misdemeanor charge after he allegedly had a sexual discussion on the Internet with an undercover investigator he thought was an underage girl, law enforcement sources disclosed on condition of anonymity.

The case was sealed, and Colonie officials declined to release the arrest records, explaining the matter was adjourned in local court in contemplation of dismissal.

The Schenectady Daily Gazette reported yesterday that Albany District Attorney Paul Clyne fired veteran Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Preiser last week for failing to inform him of the case against Ritter.

Clyne said that as a "sensitive" case, it should have been brought to his attention.

Ritter, who has made frequent appearances on network television after speaking to the Iraq National Assembly last year, could not be reached for comment.

Maybe Iraq let him play "prison rapist" for the juvenile offenders.

It's quite possible - offer the guy a selection of appatizers and see if he accepts. If he does, stick around for photos. The Russians used to do it.

I said yesterday he knows what's in hussein's closet and he knows he is going down with him... little did I know what would be in Scott's closet besides a guy named Pitt.

What? You don't believe Bush Sr. sent ninja spies to Perot's house? /sarcasm off

Hmmmm, I'd suspected that his family was threatened. Now we know what he got for changing his mind on the subject of Iraq.

I just knew that guy has a screw loose, but I just couldn't figure out what it was.

Of course I'm sure he will claim he was framed by the CIA.

[The Great Satan]

I have a feeling we won't be hearing much more from Scott Ritter.

. . . Colonie officials declined to release the arrest records, explaining the matter was adjourned in local court in contemplation of dismissal.

This story has legs and the cover-up is going to be one of the legs . . .

. . . Albany District Attorney Paul Clyne fired veteran Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Preiser last week for failing to inform him of the case against Ritter.

. . . and yet another leg.

Last week, I was one of the handful of TV viewers
watching Donahue one night when Ritter kept boasting,
"I'm a fireman, I'm a fireman." He even compared
disarming Iraq with his "surround and drown" fire-fighting
technique. He said firemen don't go into a burning building
if there's nobody to save. They just surround and drown.
Apparently, he thinks we should just keep Iraq surrounded,
but not go in. He was also on his U.N. Charter/U.S.
Constitution kick, saying it would be unconstitutional for
the United States to disobey its commitment to the U.N.

Maybe if we tell Ritter there are a bunch of 12-year-old
girls waiting for him in Baghdad, he'll re-enlist and be
first one in!

I don't think we're going to miss him.

Mystery solved.
