Additional Information:
SCOTT RITTER, author of Target Iran, Waging Peace and Iraq Confidential, was one of UNSCOM's most senior weapons inspectors in Iraq between 1991 and 1998, after having served for eight years as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. As a Marine, he conducted arms inspections in the former Soviet Union, and provided analysis of Iraq's missile capacity to General Schwarzkopf in the 1991 Gulf War.

Ritter, who famously and accurately argued that Iraq no longer had weapons of mass destruction, stated In an interview with Amy Goodman: "There is no doubt in my mind that the United States is planning right now, as we speak, a military strike against Iran." The former weapons inspector warns that such an attack is unnecessary, and if launched, could provoke a massive response with catastrophic consequences to millions of people, including Americans

Ritter's credibility is difficult to dismiss. As Seymour Hersh puts it: "The most important thing to know about Scott Ritter is that he was right."
