what the fuck happened to Scott Ritter

I had great respect for Ritter when he came out against the Iraq debacle, but this article really pisses me off. Am I reading this right? Not only does he state that the whistleblower's name is known by everybody in washington, but goes on to repeat the claim that they're "pro-Biden" and endangered our country by politicizing our intelligence agencies. What the hell....

Mr Ritter then performed a sex act on himself in front of a web camera, despite the officer's repeated claims that he was 15-years-old.

A decade ago, Mr Ritter was charged in New York with trying to set up a meeting with an undercover police officer posing as a 16-year-old girl.

On topics other than weapons, he is just a regular guy. Regular guys can get things all screwed up. I am happy to give him a pass on the grounds that he doesn’t know much.
