Scott Ritter's sealed arrest report has now been opened by the Feds as they look into possible federal charges against him. Ritter must be awfully confused about all this, considering that when confronted with the charges by the media just a week ago - he had no idea what they were referring to: When contacted by the Gazette last Friday, Ritter denied any knowledge of the incidents. ''Sorry, you must have the wrong person,'' Ritter told the newspaper.

The Assistant DA that sealed the case (and never told the DA) has been fired since all this came out, and considering the news that sealing these types of cases doesn't happen, and piling on the fact that he was also caught doing the same damn thing 2 months prior and let off with just a warning makes claims by the Indymedia crowd that this just a scheme to silence a dissenting voice seem crazy. Anybody who doesn't believe that Ritter was specifically targeted on account of his political activities needs to seek help: that sort of naivete can be terminal, and the patient probably shouldn't be trusted to cross the street unattended.

Also, the Corner points out that as of Sunday, the New York Times hadn't found it newsworthy to report any of the Ritter saga. My own search turns up that Sunday and today's paper didn't include anything on Ritter either.
