Scott Ritter's Iraq Complex
Scott Ritter used to work for UNSCOM and after he left, he became a major proponent (and a hero of the rights) of a military solution to the Iraq problem, but after 1998, when Clinton and Blair began a series of cruise missile strikes, he became a dove of sorts. Now he is one of the leading figures in the anti-war movement.

To me it seems that Ritter is just an egomaniac (though I'm not sure if it is my right to fault him for that, since I run a wesbite devoted to myself), the Times tip-toes around that, calling him "very confident", and he can't stand being in step with the conventional wisdom. Ritter also has some sort of UN/international law fetish, saying that war without UN approval would be unconstitutional, because we are bound to the United Nations by a treaty, this ignores that fact that the Constitution doesn't demand that we actually obey our agreements and that from the start our country has broken treaties. Ritter's claims that a war with Iraq would violate international law and the US Consitution seem even whackier given the fact both the UN and Congress have signed off on Bush's plans.
