Okay. Someone has to do this so that we can keep track.

On this thread, please give links for all the stories in print, in the news, on the radio, on the TV, and on the internet about Scott Ritter and the possible arrest.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, thinks are really breaking in this story quickly... it's hard to keep up... of course, in retrospect, I now can see why the europeans he worked with always referred to him as 'The Yank'... ;0)

I have the URL and text of the Schenectady Daily Gazette article which broke the story saved to my HD. Some small town reporters are far better journalists than the big time Geraldo-types.

Guess that's what happens when 'the precious' takes you over. :o

Scott Ritter said Saddam is a threat.

Scott Ritter said Saddam is a treat.

Scott Ritter, 41, wooed Susie Creamcheese, 14.

Ritter is claiming the typo defense.

Ritter claimed police had arrested another Ritter.

Whose mug shot shows him to be a Ritter-ringer.

Ultimately, Saddam Hussein will use this same defense:

"What! Weapons of mass destruction! All these men running around looking just like me! Surely you cannot hold me responsible! It is preposterous!"

"I think the fact that he didn't want any action, merely wanted to masterbate shows how truely Anti-Bush he really is... ;0)"

bahDOOMboom....oy vey <G>

[cake_crumb]

LOL...__ D) Both B and C

At this time of night I ENJOY creepy.

[lainie]

*shriek!*


LOL

[tutstar]

great idea...if you're pinging on new ones, count me in

[cake_crumb]

"Ya know what is creepier? Wanting to meet an undeage girl in a BK parking lot, so she can watch you make the special sauce..."

That IS creepy...BAD creepy (**SHUDDER**)

[cake_crumb]

"I can understand that, but that's not what was said."

He was arrested at the Burger King where he went to meet with the young girl he thought he'd hooked. He was caught red...uh...handed. It was a righteous bust.

[cake_crumb]

"... of course, in retrospect, I now can see why the europeans he worked with always referred to him as 'The Yank'... ;0)"

ROFLOL...you've got a MILLION of 'em!

I HAVE to remember some of these so I can tell hubby in the morning. He's in bed right now...which is where I ought to be...but I can't tear myself away from FR tonight for some reason!

"a reporter pursuing a lead"

Hmmmm...I wonder who gave her that lead? That should prove very interesting...

[Balata]

Here's a title for a song. lol!

Yank My Noodle It's a Dandy

To be sung, of course, to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy.

[hole_n_one]

ROTFL!!

[Shermy]

Hmmmm...I wonder who gave her that lead? That should prove very interesting...

I'm thinking the local rumor mill. Or a court officer upset about the secrecy in the first place, inflamed by seeing Scott's mug on TV.

I wonder if the sealing of the file wasn't improper in the first place, we would ever have heard this story. That is, the first stories weren't so much about Scott, but the local news about the DA firing a long-time assistant DA because of the apparent impropriety of the process, rather than the crime itself.

Another station has news about prior indicent(s). This sounds like local LEO spilling the beans, maybe with some schadenfreude towards the DA's office.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Hey Gramma. Is that a recent photo?

PS: I already donated, as ususal. And, I'm just foolin about. See ya! :O)

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

He looks like a psycho.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Its all becoming clear ...It was not Scott Ritter who was arrested but his evil twin ...

More likely, it was his other personality. Or one of them anyway.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Great work, RonDog.

Agreed. Thanks gentlemen.

["NewsChannel 13 reported in June 2001 about an arrest of a 39-year-old William Ritter of Delmar on charges he tried to lure a 16-year-old girl he met on the Internet to a Burger King in Menands."]

Evidently, this is where Ritter prefers to conduct his youth development outreach ministry.
