Scott Ritter, "When a government official commits fraud in the conduct of his or her official duties, that's a felony offence."
Scott Ritter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Ritter was UN weapons inspector in Iraq between 1991 and 1998. On Tuesday, 10/11/05 Mr. Ritter appeared on The Diane Rehm Show to discuss his new book Iraq Confidential - the Untold Story of the Intelligence Conspiracy to Undermine the UN and Overthrow Saddam Hussein.
This former Marine demonstrates his true patriotism and courage by refusing to back down from those in power and standing up for the truth. He voted for George W. Bush in 2000 because he felt the Clinton administration was stuck on a policy of sanctions, even though "Israel knew in 1998 that the UN weapons inspection program was very successful."
Scott Ritter voted for John Kerry in 2004 - not because he felt Senator Kerry was the best man for the job - but because George W. Bush "... betrayed the American people in a horrific fashion by getting us into this war in Iraq." and "Iraq is much worse off today than it was under Saddam."
When a caller asked him about the potential for impeaching officials within the Bush administration for their misinformation campaign leading up to the war in Iraq, Scott Ritter brought up an even more serious point. "When a government official commits fraud in the conduct of his or her official duties, that's a felony offence. If you investigate the testimony of this administration to the United States Congress about Iraq, there has been nothing but fraud committed."
In spite of everything he has seen, Mr. Ritter is hopeful for the future of America. "If there's anything good that can come out of this tragedy called Iraq, it is that we recognize when we approach the world as black and white - good versus evil - we only get ourselves into more trouble."
