What do you think of the news today that at least one inspector was blackmailed by Iraq. Any thoughts on who that might be?
If it does turn out that Ritter was, in fact, blackmailed for his reprehensible behavior, I hope you can muster up some indignation over that.
Ritter, I guess.
Here's a guy who has such strong perverted urges that, two months after being busted on similar charges, and while under investigation by the FBI, he fell for the simplest of honey traps. You can't tell me that sort of behaviour suddenly developed in 2001. They knew about it when he was selected for the UNSCOM team. The only real question is, was he ordered to play along with the Iraqi setup, or did they found out about it later? Given that it's generally accepted that UNSCOM had more than its share of US spies aboard, my guess is the former. Whatever, you've got to give the CIA its due. One can only guess at the value of the material Ritter's turned over during debriefings. And then to undercut the 'peace' movement like this, just before the war starts? What a champagne finish to a great asset. There'll be some admiring nods at Mossad HQ over this one, if they weren't already in on it.
