Chief United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998.                          
Ritter publicly argued that Iraq possessed no significant weapons of mass destruction - WMDs. Scott Ritter became a popular anti-war figure and talk show commentator as a result of his stance.

Scott Ritter spoke on the Public Broadcasting Service show, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.

Scott Ritter was arrested in June 2001,[30][31] but never charged, in police stings in which officers posed as under-aged girls to arrange meetings. Ritter claimed the anonymous leaks of sealed court records of these arrests, which gave rise to these news stories, were a politically motivated effort to distract attention from his revelations about Iraq.
