Scott Ritter and Sidney Blumenthal......

[Wetzelbill]

Both have been writing some great articles lately. Most of which you can check out by doing a search at Truthout.com. Interesting stuff and I highly recommend them. They also both answer e-mails usually.

So if you want to thank them or give them comment on their work, here ya go:

1. I nominate

Scott Ritter and Hans Blitz for the Nobel Peace Prize.I can't think of anyone who stood up more to the bush* war machine other then Scott.He withstood the same right wing smear and ostracism that Jim Hatfield did.( Hatfield eventually took his own life.)

2. Ritter really tried hard, here is his response to me

Bill,

Thank you very much for your kind e-mail, and words of support. While it feels good to be vindicated, it would feel better if there were a way to reverse the hands of time so that people paid more attention to what I said in the past, and we didn't find ourselves caught up in this ongoing tragedy.

Thanks again,

Scott Ritter

5. He's also written for the UK Independent

But I remember Ritter most becuase of my first anti-War demo. It was the Saturday after Blair had published his now infamous dossier and Ritter was the headline speaker. He said it was untrue then and he does seem to have been proved right.

As a matter of fact, Ritter is not a bad public speaker IMHO.

6. Goes to show what a writer can do

when he doesn't piss away his days on an obscure forum slapping around a bunch of nobodies.

Keep the good articles comin' boys!!
