A timesunion.com article (below) appears HERE in the Jan 20 edition

Scott Ritter criminal case costs prosecutor her job

Handling of charges against ex-U.N. inspector sparks action

Staff reports
First published: Monday, January 20, 2003

Colonie-- The 2001 arrest of former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter came to light late last week when an Albany County assistant district attorney was fired over her handling of the case.

Ritter -- an outspoken critic of President Bush's plan for war against Iraq -- was arrested by Colonie police in June 2001 after he allegedly was caught in an Internet sex-sting operation, according to a published report.

Ritter, of Delmar, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge after he allegedly had a sexual chat on the Internet with an undercover investigator posing as an underage girl, The Daily News reported Sunday, citing law enforcement sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

A judge sealed the case after it was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal. Colonie police on Sunday declined to discuss the case, citing the sealing order.

Last week, District Attorney Paul Clyne fired Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Preiser for her handling of the case, saying Preiser failed to notify him about a "sensitive" case.

Clyne said he launched an internal inquiry into the matter after a reporter from The Daily Gazette of Schenectady asked about a case involving Ritter.

"Based on that inquiry, I determined that I should have been apprised of the existence of the case," Clyne told the Times Union. "I was not, so Cindy Preiser was fired for failure to keep me abreast of what was going on in Colonie court." Clyne declined to discuss Ritter's arrest.

No one answered the phone at Ritter's home on Sunday.

Ritter, a 41-year-old native of Gainesville, Fla., moved to the Capital Region two years ago with his wife and twin daughters.

Ritter once led a weapons inspection team in Iraq, but in recent months he's gained attention as an outspoken critic of a new U.S. war with Iraq. Ritter has aired his views on CNN, at news conferences and in numerous interviews.

When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, Ritter, then a Marine, was sent to Saudi Arabia to help determine where Saddam Hussein was hiding Scud missiles. Ritter left the Marine Corps after the war and was hired by the U.N. to lead a weapons inspection team specializing in concealment.

At the time, Ritter said Iraq was "winning its bid to retain its prohibited weapons."

But Ritter seemingly has had a change of heart and now speaks out about a U.S. war against Iraq. He claims inspections could keep Hussein in check.

In a move that led many to label him a traitor, Ritter on Sept. 8 became the first American to speak to the Iraq National Assembly. He told the Middle East nation that it needed to allow weapons inspectors to return.

If there is no other Ritter, he's made this worse with such a flimsy excuse.

this new info demands to be placed in a more prominent place.

I sort of wish this had involved an orgy with Ramsey Clarke and Noam Chomsky, but you can't have everything!

All I can say is wow. Those folks are nutbars to the 10th degree. Oh well, at least they are typing (and toking) and are not out participating in criminal activity.

Somebody else said his next trip to Baghdad is later in the week. It's getting to the point were Saddam is going have to start dissociating himself from Scott Ritter. After all, you're known by the company you keep.

No doubt. I expect TLB is getting a kick out of them thinking he's been cavorting with Ann Coulter though. LOL!

25. Who knows what is up with this I don't. I spoke to Ritter today and he didn't comment on it, because when a case is sealed the people involved are ordered by the court not to discuss it. I don't blame him for keeping mum; hell, I'm basically a teeny little slice of the press as far as he's concerned. The article that was posted here said it was awaiting dismissal, so who knows what the deal is. If it's a smear, it's a good one. You wouldn't believe the email I'm getting on this. I'm going to try and call the DA up there tomorrow.
