Ritter,Scott

From 911Encyclopedia:

Former U.S. Marine intelligence officer, resigned from the U.N. inspection team in August 1998 after several years as a member. He left denouncing the Clinton administration for having withdrawn support for the U.N. agency and undermining weapons inspections. In many different interviews and the William Rivers Pitt (->) book "War on Iraq", Ritter "debunked the key arguments for war," notably Iraq's alleged nuclear capabilities. Ritter in July 2002: "There is a good chance that a domino effect will come into play. We could see Saudi Arabia fall, Kuwait fall, Jordan fall, Egypt fall and the entire region being swept up in a sea of anti-Western, Islamic fundamentalism. Vast numbers of ordinary Arabs will swing behind the aims of al-Qa'ida. The invasion of Iraq is the quickest path to losing the war on terror and giving legitimacy to the criminal who attacked the US and the entire freedom of the world on 11 September."
