Scott is currently on a tour of American high schools giving lectures to assemblies of 300 or more.
This is a mp3 of one of the lectures. I think that his talk was positively fascinating for the students, and I thought that some in this group might like to hear it.
If you listen to the mp3s, then
these pictures go along with the voices that you hear. I found it enjoyable to display that large picture of Scott at the lectern on my monitor screen.

Former UNSCOM Inspector and Marine Intelligence Officer, Scott Ritter is ... a seasoned media commentator, and has been interviewed by Congressional staff and committees as well as CNN, MSNBC, NPR and the BBC, and on such shows as Hardball, Crossfire, Frontline, and Donahue. His assessments stem from nearly a decade of professional on-the-ground experience in Iraq.
* An authority whose knowledge of Iraq’s military and notorious police state apparatus is based on extensive, first-hand dealings with it. Ritter was stationed in Iraq from 1991 to 1998 and is credited with initiating aggressive intelligence-collection measures. He became familiar with the workings of the upper echelons of Saddam Hussein’s regime, and ‘rank and file’ operatives.
* A former intelligence officer with professional experience of planning military operations inside Iraq. Ritter served directly under General Schwarzkopf during the 1991 Gulf War. Ritter can speak with unusual depth and detail to the logistics of launching military operations inside Iraq. His right-on-the- money analysis made him a Pentagon “whistleblower� during that war, when he single-handedly refuted US military claims that it was shooting down Scud missiles.
* A recognized expert on Iraq’s program for weapons of mass destruction. In the course of his UNSCOM career, Ritter participated in 30 weapons inspection, 7 of them as chief inspector. The Iraqi government branded him a “spy� for his aggressive inspection style. Ritter can address questions on concealment, noncompliance, and destruction of weapons and production capability in Iraq. Ritter will explain why he trusts surveillance and forensic sampling, not Iraqi disclosures. Collaboration with intelligences services from many nations has given him a unique perspective on the “War against Terror.�
Author of Endgame: Solving The Iraq Problem Once And For All, and Frontier Justice, Weapons of Mass Destruction and the Bushwhacking of America. Ritter’s writings have appeared in the Boston Globe, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Financial Times, The Guardian, & Arms Control Today.
