Ritter recieved 400k from an American of Iraqi descent(Shakir Khafaji - to say he was paid off by Iraq is a joke) to help finance Ritter's documentary "Shifting Sands" which chronicles the history of UNSCOM and UNMOVIC.

He never said Iraq was WMD free, he said the inspectors needed time to do their job. I have a hard time believing that someone with his level of dedication to the Marines and his country would abandon it all for such a paltry sum - he could make that in a month on the lecture circuit.

The fact remains that Iraq said they had abandoned all WMD programs and had destroyed their stockpiles, the inspectors said there was nothing there and agreed with Iraq's 12 000 page report, Bush came in, killed 100 000 people, and found nothing.

As much as I try to understand it, your position just doesn't hold water.
