And not just of aiding Saddam Hussein. The jury found him guilty all counts except one in his sex sting trial:

Scott Ritter’s 18-year-old twin daughters covered their faces and began sobbing while their mother tried to console them as a jury Thursday convicted Ritter of unlawful contact with a minor and five out of six other offenses, mostly felonies.

After two days of testimony and six hours of deliberation, the jury convicted the former United Nations chief weapons inspector of other charges including indecent exposure and criminal use of a communication facility and acquitted him of a criminal attempt charge. Ritter faces up to seven years in prison on the most serious of the charges.

Looks like Saddam did have something compromising on Ritter. At least his subsequent behavior can lead us to believe that is more than mere speculation.

Thinking he was communicating with a minor, Ritter sent explicit messages to the cops. Too funny. He deserves everything he gets. Excerpt:

STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) – A longtime U.N. weapons inspector who became a fierce critic of the Iraq war is scheduled to stand trial in northeastern Pennsylvania in an online sex-sting case.

Scott Ritter, 49, of Delmar, N.Y., is charged with engaging in a sexually graphic online chat with an undercover police officer posing as a 15-year-old girl.

Ritter, charged with unlawful contact with a minor and other counts, and has pleaded not guilty. Opening statements in his trial are scheduled to begin Tuesday morning in Stroudsburg.

What a slime-ball. Sugar-daddy Saddam ain’t going to be there to help with this one.
