Any chance you are so high on Scott Ritter because he supports your point of view, Fionn? If I am not mistaken, I believe Scott Ritter's boss does not concur with his opinion. I'll do some research on that statement to be sure I am correct. I think it is conceivable that Scott Ritter's primary interest is selling his book, and seeking speaking engagements for which he can demand a large speaking fee. He has a lot of company, however, in this regard who are both liberal and conservative.DougR
