December 6, 2007 – Scott Ritter – The Scott Horton Show – Episode 433

Scott Ritter, former U.S. Marine and UN weapons inspector and author of Target Iran: The Truth About the White House's Plans for Regime Change, discusses the new Iran NIE, its confirmation of his long-held contention that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program, the lack of hard evidence that they ever did, the illogic of the administration's demands that Iraq and now Iran prove a negative, the mysterious origin of the "smoking laptop," his patriotism, the state of Iran's compliance with the IAEA, the possibility that the timing of the NIE's release was a preemptive action against Mohamed ElBaradei's upcoming report on the last outstanding questions, the lies claiming Iran is backing enemies of the U.S. in Iraq, the necessity of withdrawal, his case that the total debacle of the Iraqi occupation is the result of abject incompetence, the danger to U.S. troops in Iraq in the event of war with Iran, his admiration for Ron Paul and the need of the American people to destroy the careers of their warmonger representatives.
