how depressing is this? Scott Ritter goes to prison

[Fla_Democrat]

56. You're not really helping his case any

When the person on the board, who can arguably be said knows him better than any other poster says... It could have happened 100 times before for all we knew. .. it kinda reinforces my opinion of him as a pedo.

Think back to the election of 2000. News "came to light" of George W's DUI arrest a short time before the election. Does any one doubt that the information was released for political reasons, especially in light of the timing? Hardly, it was a political move, yet it still doesn't change the facts... 1976, DUI charge. Now one could argue the 2003 revelations were political.... but, again, it doesn't change the fact of the incidents that happened before he was on any political radar.

The first sentence of the linked article...
On a February afternoon in 2009, Ryan Venneman, one of only five full-time police officers in tiny Barrett Township, Pa., decided to spend some time hunting for sexual predators online.

February... 2009??? Bush was gone. Who's the evil mastermind trying to set up critics of the war in Iraq? Maybe Barrett Township is so far removed from the power of DC that the shadow operatives, er, operative (cites one officer), hadn't got the memo that there was an administration change, and all members of the BFC, or BFEE, or what ever.. were to disengage and regroup at Crawford.

If he wasn't who he is.. what he is would garner a lot more condemnation. But hell, any one who was here during the whole Polanski cluster thump knows that.
