In response to all the email: No, no, no. I wasn’t suggesting — or didn’t mean to — that the Iraqis have control of local police departments in the US. Rather, I meant that people with unusual sexual appetites are often great candidates for being turned into intellgence assets by foreign governments (this was one of the main arguments against allowing homosexuals in the government — back when being a homosexual carried a lot more social stigma). All I meant was that if Ritter likes little girls, that might be a vulnerability the Iraqis could have exploited. I don’t really buy this theory since I’ve spent exactly 109 seconds thinking about it. But people have been wondering for quite a while what exactly could explain Ritter’s about-face. That’s all.
