#1 Shaker Al-Khaffaji is one of two individuals in the US who were beneficiaries of this voucher scheme.
Shaker Al-Khaffaji (7 million barrels) advanced $400,000 to Scott Ritter, former U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq. Ritter produced a documentary purporting to tell the true story of the weapons inspections, which in his telling were corrupted by sinister U.S. manipulation.
So Ritter was just another cog in the Saddam propaganda machine. He should be held accountable for this.

#2 Scott Ritter is proof there is such a thing as an ex-marine.

#4 Shep,

Being an Anglophile and an avid reader of contemporary British literature, I'm usually pretty astute with English slang but 'nonse' has me puzzled...Do you mean 'wasn't Ritter a pervert/paedophile?'

Actually, he was picked up by police outside of Albany, NY, a couple of times after arranging meetings on the internet with individuals he believed would be teenaged girls. The 'girls' were in fact police who websurf chatrooms looking for child molesters. Ritter intended to masturbate while they watched.

Many have speculated that perhaps Saddam had some proof of perversion that Ritter engaged in that was able to 'turn' Ritter against sanctions.

#5 Ship - dead right, bubba - and he should be dead by now, too, from either overwhelming shame or by the hand of some outraged father.
