The 'computer guy' at the internet cafe continues to plead ignorance. Attempts to contact a person of authority have failed so far. Since the shipboard system is still down for maintanance, I have no comment.
RITTER: Well, it’s probably a question best posed to the producers and the bookers at the various television shows and radio talk shows. I’ve always been confident that I’m saying things that are factually sound, based upon the truth, that I’m not spinning them for anyone’s benefit. Unfortunately, I don’t believe the mainstream media acted responsibly in regard to Iraq. Back in the fall of 2002, I was belittled, I was called a traitor, I was called crazy—Paula Zahn of CNN accused me of drinking Saddam Hussein’s Kool-Aid for making accurate statements in response to aluminum tubes and uranium allegedly coming from Niger. I think we have a problem here in that the media is culpable for the misleading of the American public. They bought into the Bush administration’s rhetoric and war fervor, they sold the war to the American public, and now they have to deal with the fact that they’re the ones that were out there beating the war drums and you have this guy, Scott Ritter, who was saying something different and—maybe they just don’t know how to deal with me. I think, though, the facts are on the table and the people who stuck to the facts are the ones who have credibility and hopefully people will realize that, on the issue of Iraq, I have enormous credibility.
