Scott Ritter couldn't tell a 40 year old male detective from a 12 year old girl. Not a guy that I would want inspecting for me.

Hawk, Scott Ritter is a hero to all patriotic Americans. While others "played the game", he told the truth. That's why you hate him - be honest and admit it.

Hawk, I read that. It was pretty weak. Scott Ritter fits into my stereotype of a USA CIA front-lines guy, rampaging around the world, sex on legs, ego on steroids, all confrontation and agression. That anti-Ritter link was very unconvincing [actually, pathetic, if somewhat informative]. It became a joke at times [such as claims about the nuclear weapon technology being exported to Saddam by Russia, now shown to be nonsense]. Ritter was right and everyone else was wrong. The sex stuff sells like crazy in the sex-obsessive USA. It doesn't look like a big deal to me. Just what I'd expect from somebody like that. Not everyone has good judgement about sex partners. He does seem to have an immature attitude to the sexual side of life - he thinks a 17 year old is a good prospective sex partner, apparently. In NZ, that's a legal age for sex. It's not paedophilia. A 17 year old female is a woman. I have 3 daughters [now in their 20s] and am long in the tooth so I'm not exactly ignorant about these things. The UNSCOM gang was a bunch of CIA spies. No wonder Saddam chucked them out. He was getting nowhere and all they were doing was lining up targets. They were out to get Saddam and he knew it. Of course Ritter was a risk-taker, which most of us would think reckless. That's what it takes to rampage around Iraq, confronting Uday and co, up close and personal, in the den of the tiger. Operating in Moscow while the USSR was still in business. And so on. Mqurice
