Nice to hear from Scott again! 90-percent Feb 2015 #1

Scott was just released from jail for his fourth sex offense conviction.... msanthrope Feb 2015 #2

More importantly, Scott was a conduit for Ahmed Chalabi's disinformation about Iraq WMDs. leveymg Feb 2015 #53

Well, looks like Ritter had his hands in many dirty pies before he "turned." msanthrope Feb 2015 #62

I wouldn't include all the intelligence analysts on that list. leveymg Feb 2015 #63

What's McCarthyesque are your smears, Dreamer Tatum. Octafish Feb 2015 #21

Sorry, but when you try to CT away things that are inconvenient to your narrative Dreamer Tatum Feb 2015 #26

So, when you don't have anything to rebut with, your M.O. is to attack the messenger. Octafish Feb 2015 #29

No, you're a little more artful than that. You attack the messenger's source and rebut with nonsense Dreamer Tatum Feb 2015 #32

You sound mad -- angry, not crazy -- Dreamer Tatum. Octafish Feb 2015 #51

Thanks for speaking up and setting the record straight. FarPoint Feb 2015 #84

And this exonerates Ritter, how? Did someone use a time machine to go msanthrope Feb 2015 #12

It's not meant to exonerate anyone. It shows how corrupt the government is. Octafish Feb 2015 #14

Actually you do know he's a predator. Dreamer Tatum Feb 2015 #18

Link? Or is it one of those things, "Take my word on it." Octafish Feb 2015 #22

It's a condition of parole, Octa. You admit to your crime. It's also a condition of being in an msanthrope Feb 2015 #41

I have no opinion about Ritter's actions, but i do know something about Jackpine Radical Feb 2015 #50

If I thought Ritter were actually innocent, I'd be concerned. But I tend to think msanthrope Feb 2015 #65

I'm concerned about the process, not about Ritter. Jackpine Radical Feb 2015 #67

Oh--I am not disagreeing with your second paragraph.....just questioning the efficacy of using msanthrope Feb 2015 #69

In tactical terms, you're right, I'm sure. Jackpine Radical Feb 2015 #71

Except there is no message from Ritter. randome Feb 2015 #73

Yes they are Jim Beard Feb 2015 #77

Are you saying there is a good image of them that we're simply overlooking? randome Feb 2015 #78

Even if its just as evil people? Jim Beard Feb 2015 #83

Totally agree with you. Back when, when we were desperate for voices against UTUSN Feb 2015 #8

Well..I maintain that a man more interested in the cause than himself might msanthrope Feb 2015 #9

Yip, it opens up a rational trail of speculation: UTUSN Feb 2015 #13

You find an ME expert who isn't a sex offender? Can't you see the problem here? nt msanthrope Feb 2015 #89

And Ritter is now an expert on ISIS because...:shrug:? randome Feb 2015 #6

He had time to study up on it while in the slammer! greatauntoftriplets Feb 2015 #19

more expert than you, i'd guess. ND-Dem Feb 2015 #35

Well, ISIS didn't exist back then but sure, he may be privy to information I would not. randome Feb 2015 #48

Character assassination of a convicted sex offender? tabasco Feb 2015 #27

Fine. What does it have to do with ISIS? marmar Feb 2015 #28

You're the one that brought up the issue of Ritter's character tabasco Feb 2015 #31
