Either you did not read my posts entirely or you intentionally misrepresent my position.

I am not sure if making a propaganda film for Saddam would actually make Ritter a traitor...he speaks for himself in no official capacity...other than the staus that you and other anti-war folks give him. The same folks that call similar Marine Corp majors "brainwashed fools" when they speak in support of the war.

The point is...Ritter changed his mind without any new information...other than his increasing bank account.

The administration received new information for four years prior to our excursion into Iraq...that Ritter was not privy to (as a... LOL.. "filmaker") ...clearly a difference.

I do not expect that David Kay or any of the other inspectors illegally shared any classified intelligence with him after he lost his clearance. Especially since he was being highly paid for his work on a project that benefitted Saddam. Unless, of course he learned something new when he was in Iraq as a guest of Saddam.

He was paid through an intermediary..an Iraqi-American who is currently being investigated for the large amount of money he made through the "oil for food program."

Seems several prominent anti-war democrats were also given money by the same "oil for food" benefactor as Ritter had. I'll bet that didn't affect their position on the war either. LOL.

I would tend to agree with the administration's original position.....although prohibited WMD and delivery devices were indeed found in Iraq...stockpiles, in fact, have not been. Not finding them does not indicate that they did not/do not exist....only that they have not been located. We also cannot locate Bin Laden, so why is that a suprise?

Good day to you also.
