Scott Ritter, Anti-War Former UNSCOM WMD Inspector And US Critic Gets 5.5 Years In Prison
|
Fifty-year-old Scott Ritter, who exchanged explicit messages with a detective posing as a 15-year-old girl, then performed a sex act on himself in front of a webcam, has been sentenced to up to 5 1/2 years in prison.
A Pennsylvania jury convicted Ritter in April. On Wednesday, a Monroe County judge sentenced him to 18 months to 66 months in state prison.
Prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003, Ritter stated that Iraq possessed no significant weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities. He became a popular anti-war figure and talk show commentator as a result of his stance.
Prior to the US invasion of Iraq, Ritter said on Portuguese radio station TSF: "The United States is going to leave Iraq with its tail between its legs, defeated. It is a war we can not win ... We do not have the military means to take over Baghdad and for this reason I believe the defeat of the United States in this war is inevitable ... Every time we confront Iraqi troops we may win some tactical battles, as we did for ten years in Vietnam, but we will not be able to win this war, which in my opinion is already lost."
