I also have a strong hunch it was our government who put the kibosh on his trip to Iraq scheduled for last night, not his own choice. Perhaps some innocuous bureaucratic roadblocks quietly put in his way to delay his trip or to cause him to put it off indefinitely.

Think the leak of Ritter's run-in with the law might have been for the purpose of preventing his trip to Iraq?

It certainly renders him more irrelevent than he already was.

Doubt it. This is hardly the first time Ritter's been to Iraq. If anything, I'd be more suspicious of the timing after the "peace" rallies last weekend. Ritter has done the administration an enormous service by getting out in front of the "peace movement" and becoming they're greatest spokesman. He's been a pied piper, leading his leftist followers straight off a cliff. I've little doubt that the feds and the administration have known about Ritter's pecadilloes for some time -- they may well have set up the entrapment in 2001. This release could be "accidental," or it could be that Bush figured it was time to lower the boom on Scotty Boy. Either way, the "peace movement" just got a serious poke in the eye. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of liars, misfits, cowards and traitors.
