William Scott Ritter Jr. (born July 15th in 1961) was an ex- United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq between 1991 and 1998. Later, he was an opponent of United States foreign policy in the Middle East. Prior to the US invasion in Iraq on March 3, 2003 Ritter said that Iraq did not have any major Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) capabilities. He was as per The New York Times “the loudest and most credible skeptic of the Bush administration’s contention that Hussein was hiding weapons of mass destruction.”
We took all documents that were part of that Iraqi Nuclear program, especially the administrative documents. We found a name for everyone, their location of work and what they did and, at the most prominent of them all the Saddam’s “Bombmaker” was a man identified as Jafar Dhia Jafar, not Khidir Hamza And if you look through the list of the top administrative staff, you won’t find his name. Actually, we didn’t discover his name in any way. In 1990, he was not working in The Iraqi Nuclear Program. He didn’t know about the program because he was an official for kickbacks in the office of Hussein Kamel in the Presidential Palace.
Beginning in December 1997, Ritter, with the approval of UNSCOM head Richard Butler and other top UNSCOM leaders, began to supply the UK’s foreign intelligence service MI6 with documents and briefings on UNSCOM’s findings to be used for MI6’s propaganda effort dubbed “Operation Mass Appeal”: “I was approached by the British intelligence service, which I had, again, a long relationship with, of an official nature, to see if there was any information in the archives of UNSCOM that could be handed to the British, so that they could in turn work it over, determine its veracity, and then seek to plant it in media outlets around the world, in an effort to try to shape the public opinion of those countries, and then indirectly, through, for instance, a report showing up in the Polish press, shape public opinion in Great Britain and the United States.

When the United States and the UN Security Council failed to take action against Iraq for their ongoing failure to cooperate fully with inspectors (a breach of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1154), Ritter resigned from the United Nations Special Commission on August 26, 1998.
In January 1998, his inspection team in Iraq was blocked from some weapons sites by Iraqi officials stating that information obtained from these sites would be used for future planning of attacks. UN Inspectors were ordered out of Iraq by the United States Government, shortly before Operation Desert Fox attacks began in December 1998, using information which had been gathered for the purpose of disarmament to identify targets which would reduce Iraq’s ability to wage both conventional and possibly unconventional warfare. UN Weapons Inspectors were thereafter denied access to Iraq. He spoke on the Public Broadcasting Service show, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer:
