Former weapons inspector and all-around idiot Scott Ritter is joining a protest against a US NSA listening facility:
Mr Ritter has been an increasingly vociferous opponent of the Iraq war and subsequent operations. He was chief inspector for Unscom, the special commission to disarm Saddam's regime. A former officers in the US Marines, his appearance at Menwith's annual Independence from America rally on July 4, US Independence Day, will further enrage his critics in the Bush administration who dismiss him as a renegade.
Mr Ritter will repeat arguments that US forces do not ultimately have the capability to control Iraq or win over mass support for a new democratic regime. The event also ties in to protests at the G8 summit in Edinburgh, with a focus this year on the extent of military spending compared with overseas aid, especially in the US.
I imagine the Bush people don't think of him so much as a "renegade" but more of a scumbag who attempts to have sex with 14 and 16 year old girls. In the Guardian's world, that must not be enough to discredit someone.

It is easy to dismiss someone's arguments on the basis of allegations that smear someone's image. A proven way to spread doubt on someone's credibility.
The problem however is that this sex-smear thing has nothing todo with his judgement on iraq. But I guess it is easier to disregard the arguments, because it might be harder to refute them. (let alone to read upon the arguments in the first place)
Oh.. and wasn't he right that there were no WMD's in Iraq as was claimed?
