the last public appearance I remember from Scott Ritter was on CNN's newsnight with Aaron Brown and how a previously sealed court sentencing had leaked to the media that basically insinuated that Ritter had done something untowards to a minor...
Up to that point, Ritter had been a vocal opponent of the adminstration's position that Saddam had WMDs.

probably won't sway people from their mindsets, but take it for what its worth as both sources are fairly neutral (ie not Fox News nor NY Times)...
