Dubya's fibs ? - what constitutes a patriot ?

As of today, post Iraq war. The best evidence available is that Scott Ritter spoke accurately, insightfully, honestly & truthfully. For this he was branded a traitor by some elements in US (and here in IWETHEY).

Now we are being told openly, that Ritter's 'facts' were correct & that Bush, Rummy & Wolfy's weren't !!!. So if Ritter is a traitor what logical conclusion do we reach about these people who misled (lied?) to us, or who loudly and repeatedly re published the lies.
