Beech Trees,

I found a 12 October 1998 Washington Post article by Barton Gellman titled, "Arms Inspectors 'Shake the Tree'" archived on the web that mentions Mr. Ritter having been polygraphed for a job with the CIA:

Quote:

The Clinton administration was more and more worried about Ritter, and about Israel. During a polygraph examination in late 1996, taken as part of his application for a job at the CIA, Ritter was asked about his overseas work. "They ask, 'Have you ever had contact with a foreign intelligence agency?' " said one U.S. official. "You say yes and it sends these guys . . . into orbit.

Scott came in with a list." Ritter's answers were referred to the FBI, which began a counterintelligence investigation. Among the concerns was his August 1991 marriage to Marina Khatiashvili, a former Soviet Georgian interpreter for the American team that had monitored an arms control pact in Votkinsk. Ritter had been married when they met, and he and colleagues insist that his romance with Khatiashvili began after he left Votkinsk. But her job had required her to report to the KGB, and Ritter knew he was imperiling his security clearance by marrying her, even afterward. "I was in love with Marina," Ritter said.

Thanks for the cite George... I guess I was just wondering how someone who is almost without question a pedophile could manage to pass the CIA's 'lifestyle' polygraph interrogation. Dave

I'm curious if anyone has information with regard to any polygraph interrogations Mr. Ritter may have undergone in order to gain his clearance rating(s).
