Iraq's intelligence services bought gold jewellery that they planned to give to the wife and daughter of Scott Ritter, the controversial former weapons inspector, as part of a clandestine project to encourage him to work closely with Saddam Hussein's regime, according to documents discovered by The Telegraph in Baghdad. According to the documents, which were found in the bombed headquarters of Iraq's intelligence services, the cost of the presents was approved at the highest level in an attempt to develop "strong relations with them [Mr Ritter's family] that affect positively on our relations with him". The documents say that the...

I keep company and friends with people on both sides of the political spectrum. I got an e-mail sent to me about Scott Ritter and his gang of UN lovers who will be making a trek to NYC and the UN area this coming weekend for a rally called "Not In Our Name" which is the same group that has most of the Hollywood Lib's with them. Once I find out more info on this I will try to pass it on. But this would be a most excellent Freep if you all can get there.

The reviews are in: Motown and Hollywood are head over heels for two men with unabashed penchants for young girls. R. Kelly, an R&B singer out on bail for 21 counts of statutory rape and child pornography, topped the music charts this month with his new sex-drenched album, "Chocolate Factory." Motown Records President Kedar Massenburg recently gloated to the Associated Press: "He's probably more popular now than during 'I Believe I Can Fly'" (a reference to Kelly's breakout 1996 single). Roman Polanski, the fugitive bail-jumper and convicted felon who pled guilty to forcing a 13-year-old girl to have sex...

I have seen posts here, unlinked and unsourced, that Scott Ritter is a lobbyist for the Iraqi government. Ritter was on C-span's Morning Journal today, just prior to J. Biden's second day of hearings about the coming war on Iraq. "Scottie Boy" has some good points , it seems to me. He is an anti-Iraq-war Republican and ought to be heard and treated respectfully. I'm pro-invasion (who cares?).After an FR search, I cannot find anything to support accusations against Ritter though. Signed, W.T. I want information. Does anyone seriously charge that Ritter is a paid Iraqi lobbyist?

 

Ritter: On the Anti-War PathBy Julia GorinFrontPageMagazine.com | January 29, 2003 It's funny how soliciting sex from an underage girl can be the difference between Iraq having nuclear capability and not having nuclear capability.Just ask former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter. In 1997, before Ritter was arrested for soliciting sex from a police officer posing as a teenager, Saddam Hussein indeed had been furtively building a nuclear arsenal, according to Ritter. But in 2002, a year after Ritter acquired a dirty little secret of his own, Hussein suddenly became beyond suspicion.Ritter has said that the timing "stinks," and lamented that...

Scott Ritter.s association with President Clinton finally exposed! http://www.wrgb.com/news/local/local_news.asp#H1 For months Americans have been confused as to how Mr. Ritter could have turned from a staunch anti-Sadamist to his biggest American supporter. The answer came out yesterday when the news was released that he is nothing more than a dirty filthy sexual predator. Predictably he has the same sexual perversions that the Democrat.s demigod Bill Clinton had. Not surprisingly filth begets filth. Just as the leftist anti-American press censored the news story on the sexual predator Clinton they are censoring the story on Ritter. The leftist must be busy working...
