it certainly gives the appearance of funny business...

Yes, that the film was backed by an alleged Iraqi interest appears iffy. This needs to be looked into. It appears that the media are doing just that. I imagine the FBI and/or CIA are, as well. Whether or not Ritter profited from the transaction and to what extent is also relevant or whether he "received" funds solely in his capacity as producer for distribution to employees and ventors should also be looked at.

Has anyone seen this film? Or seen a review of it? What exactly is problematic about the film, itself?

would you take money from an Iraqi interest to produce a film on behalf of Iraq?

Of course not. My point is only that we do not know if Ritter would, or did, either. We surely know he didn't say that he did during the Reilly interview. At least one of us does.

I am not applauding or criticizing whatever it was that has or hasn't done, since I really don't know what that is. I'm addressing only the accuracy of your assertion of what Ritter "admitted" during that interview.

My interest in this, the reason I engaged this topic, is much the same as JLA's hobby-horse--a distaste for blatant misinformation. We each deal with that distaste differently. He calls people names, laughs at them, and tries to get them banned. I am trying to point out to you where your statement got ahead of your available information in the hopes that you and all of us posters will curb that kind of excess.
