The Iran Talks, is a national tour co-sponsored by U.S. Tour of Duty, Peace Action and Fellowship of Reconciliation.

Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector and author, will discussion the media's coverage of the occupation of Iraq, the Bush administration's "War on Terror" and the need for diplomatic alternatives.

Ritter was recently in Iran where he participated in a fact-finding mission. He warned, "We are seeing history repeat itself in Iran," referring to faulty and misleading intelligence information leading up to the invasion in Iraq.

Ritter is the author of several books including "Target Iran," "Iraq Confidential" and "Waging Peace." He was a senior weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998 and has first-hand knowledge of issues on the ground. Ritter also served for eight years as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Marine Corps and as a Marine conducted arms inspections in the former Soviet Union. He also provided analysis of Iraq's missile capacity to Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf during the 1991 Gulf War.
