in addition to murder (the Supreme Court held his Georgia law unConstitutional), helped Mugabe get elected, started the new 'interventions' into Afghanistan and Persian Gulf (Carter Doctrine, $40+ billion covert program of training Islamic fundamentalists), refused to let the US participate in the summer Olympics in 1980, gave away the Panama Canal to the Communist Chinese, supported the Shah and refused to talk to Khomeni (listened to Brezenski instead of Vance), and, who can forget the economy and gas prices. But, on the good side, he has build some houses for poor-folks and is one of the few who will criticise Isreal!
Bush is on his way of matching/beating Carter for posterity. The only advice I could give to Bush is post-Presidency to roll-up your selves and start building houses....in a few decades everyone will forgive you and you'll be in the lime-light again. Think about Gore. Made a speech against Kyoto originally and caused its downfall but now is an 'environmentalist' leader!!

Personally, I get SO TIRED of people bashing Jimmy Carter. Compared to George W Bush, Jimmy Carter was a wonderful president. When the economy went to hell on his watch, part of the blame needed to be put on forces outside of his control.
Plus, the nut jobs in Iran WANTED Carter to look bad and Reagan to look good so they released the hostages just after RR was inaugerated and people were actually foolish enough to believe he deserved credit. Excuse me, but let's not be so easily duped, OK??

At least Jimmy Carter cares a hoot about people and promotes peace. and or the most part, he always did.

Jimmy Carter had a solar water system put in the white house and Ronald Reagan took it out. How's that for forward thinking?

Today, Jimmy Carter is a very brave, wise old man and the fact that he keeps talking even though he keeps getting bashed makes me respect him even more.

Carter was an outsider, a Georgia governor, who was manipulated by those who "knew better" about foreign policy.

Bush is a nepotistic parasite who is allowing his face to be the public face of the military/corporate elite who orchestrated the take over this country in an attempt to rule all.

i do appreciate it, but it's just getting so painful to watch. EVERYBODY knows the US has used hardcore torture throughout the 20th century and has sharpened that arrow even more in the 21st.
it has created torture manuals, buddied up with psychopaths and assasinated voices of reason.
it is just so painful (it literally gives me a headache) to watch this debate continue. they might as well be asking jimmie if the earth is round...

President Jimy Carter with his vast national and international knowledge could not be more specific.
So long as AIPAC decides and dictates the american foreign policy, the Bush/Cheney regime would carry on the wishes of the ZIONISTS and people will die in their thousands, including the americans, all over the world and the PALESTINIES HOLOCAUST continue to go on.
It is about time the the American people demand the trial of the said regime as a WAR CRIMINALS.

Number One - close Guantanamo.

But good luck with trying to control the CIA. Most people don't even know what they are about. It isn't good. They serve their own masters.

So why not anybody else..?

Bush has been torturing Americans for 6 1/2 years in reality there is no peace of mind in the country any more that alone is torture and for any intelligent or decent American this has been 6 1/2 years of torture..with more yet to come including war with Iran..

What else would you expect from the most blood thirsty Texas Government in history..?

Blackwater is a Right wing Christian based killing machine..

Bush's private army..

Soon our oppressors as they were in New Orleans already..

So thanks for the Info Jimmy glad you finally got on board..

TJ..

For all who complain about Carter (and to add fuel to that pyre, one must not forget also that it was CARTER who unleashed this mad spectre of DRAFT REGISTRATION on the youth of the land, which was ostensibly in support of the Mujahadeen and Taliban in Afganistan no less), forget not that Carter has the COURAGE to call it like it is.

If one reads the comments to the original Reuters post of this, the entire discourse is largely about Carter-bashing based on their opinions of his record, rather than addressing the matter he's raising, that: THE ADMIN IS COMMITING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY by TORTURING PRISONERS (or "detainees, or whatever Cheney fancies them this time).

One must be mindful of the apparent extreme consequences of going up against Cheney, does anyone remember PAUL WELLSTONE? The Cheney cabal seems to simply assasinate a politician with too big a mouth.

The threat of black-ops foul-play by the Cheney-ers is the only reason I can fathom for the entire congressial cave-in to the admin agenda.

Perhaps I am wrong in the conspiracy theory above, BUT:

If most would side with Carter in his asessment that Cheney IS illegally torturing people by any definition, and that the war was aggressively prosecuted under false pretext in violation of the Geneva Accords, and that the saber-rattling against Iran is similarly illegal, can one of you brilliant old-time activists out there please riddle me this:

1: WHY CHENEY IS NOT BEING IMPEACHED??
2: WHY ARE THERE NOT TRIBUNALS BEING SCHEDULED AT THE UN BY THE REST OF THE WORLD AGAINST THE US ADMIN?
3: WHY IS NOT DENNIS KUCINICH, WHO APPARENTLY IS THE ONLY CONGRESSPERSON WILLING TO UPHOLD THE LAW OF THE LAND, NOT GETTING MORE SUPPORT??

When are people going to relize that Carter is a disater and a turncoat to the office he once held.
He is the only former Presidant with a smear campaign .
The worst Presidant we ever had.
All the trouble we are having with Iran today stems from his administration.
