Squeaky Wheel Productions, distributors of the syndicated Between The Lines Radio Magazine, will present a talk by former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter Saturday- September, 17th at 2 p.m. at New Haven's United Church on the Green, 270 Temple St. (corner of Temple and Elm streets). Free parking on Temple Street at Yale Lot 51, across from the New Haven Public Library. 

Ritter is a former Marine Intelligence officer who served as a chief U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991-98. He is one of the few  officials with a working knowledge of Saddam Hussein's weapons systems to have publicly opposed the Bush administration's war on  Iraq before the invasion. 

Ritter's talk, titled "Parallel Deceptions: The Bush Agenda for War in Iraq and Iran," will focus on the lies and distortions about "weapons of mass destruction" used by the Bush administration to rally public support for its war against Iraq. Ritter warns that a similar propaganda campaign is now underway to justify a future military confrontation with Iran over its nuclear capability. 

The public forum will feature music by the New Haven based-band Mikata and is hosted by Scott Harris, Denise Manzari and Melinda Tuhus, producers of the syndicated Between The Lines Radio Newsmagazine. Area residents are invited to attend a reception in Scott Ritter's honor following the forum 6-8 p.m. with hors d'oeuvres and refreshments at the home of the Rev. Allie Perry and Charlie Pillsbury.
