In '98, Scott Ritter resigned as chief weapons inspector for the U.N. Special Commission in Iraq and has been a vocal critic of U.S. policy. Currently a consultant, he's the author of several books, including Target Iran. Ritter was born into a military family and grew up all over the world. He joined the Marines after college and was a ballistic missile expert. Ritter is also a Gulf War veteran. The Iraqi government called him a spy and, in the U.S., he's been labeled both a hero and a maverick.
