Scott Ritter on an "embattled," "irresponsible" administration...

i have never gotten the impression that scott ritter wears a tin-foil hat...
"When you have an irresponsible administration like the Nixon administration, like this current administration, and they start to feel embattled, surrounded, they take on a fortress like mentality where everybody becomes the enemy."

Asked if he thought a staged terror attack was possible, a scenario previously considered by former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, Ritter responded,

"Yeah, you have people who have no regard for the rule of law.
These aren't people who appreciate the Constitution, to them the Constitution is an impediment, it's an obstacle, it's something in the way, it's something to be avoided. They are married to an ideology of global domination, of global imperialism and they're not going to deviate from this."

it certainly seems as though that is what the increases in the terror threat level were all about - keeping people in fear so that the administration could keep doing as it pleased without too much scrutiny...
