Former President Jimmy Carter believes U.S. intelligence agencies are spying on him — so much so, he eschews email to avoid government spies.
"You know, I have felt that my own communications are probably monitored," Carter told NBC's Andrea Mitchell in an interview broadcast Sunday. "And when I want to communicate with a foreign leader privately, I type or write a letter myself, put it in the post office and mail it.
"I believe if I send an email, it will be monitored," Carter continued.
The 89-year-old said the National Security Agency and others have abused the argument that gathering intelligence is critical to homeland security.
"That has been extremely liberalized and, I think, abused by our own intelligence agencies," Carter said.

Remember it from the very first, (a 2hr. show iirc), ‘Miami Vice’ episode?
Can't imagine!
Ew.
this is a ‘clever’ ploy to get people to stop sending emails buy stamps and use snail mail.
LOLOL... OUTSTANDING!!!
> and just why in the world would we want to know what this clown is thinking regarding foreign policy??
Double ditto...
Would hate to see this in anyone.

I'd want to know, so that I could do the exact opposite.
They’re out to get you, Jimmy.
They’re digging for dirt. They gotta make you the worst president, again.
Thank you, for the wake-up call to arms- US President J. Carter. You are a patriot, sir! Thank you!
Commit a left-wing fashion faux pas, or opt for the protection from dangerous NSA transmissions that only a well-constructed tinfoil beanie can provide?
As kid’s, we used to write a dummy message on the faceside of the letter and on the backside we wrote the real message in secret ink (lemon juice).
The recipient, then used heat (mom, can I borrow a candle) to de-cypher the real message on the backside.
To be extra secure we encrypted the real message using our encoder/decoder rings (free from a well known cereal manufacturer) and a key which the recipient had to find by trial and error before the message would make sense.
Double secure. You bet. Fun. You bet.
Sorry, no Internet or TV...4th graders had to do something besides build model planes and play Monopoly back then. Maybe Jimmah is having a flashback or something.
what do you care jimmy if you’re not doing anything wrong?
isn’t that the big brother/coplover line we hear all the time from various groups that think it’s just awesome to clamp down more and more on all of us little people? you know for our own safety?
And, a rabid rabbit is stalking Him.
rabbits, once you know them as pets, are awesome. they are a metaphor for how i live my life, and conservatives in general.
they are not by nature predators. they do not pick fights, generally wanting to just be left alone and simply live their lives. if they are wild they may live in groups and there is an established hierarchy, but once that is settled and everyone knows who’s in charge, things are peaceful. they do not pick offensive fights. their first instinct is to flee from danger or hide from it, not desiring to get into fights. but if they cannot use their preferred method of getting away from trouble, and they are cornered, believing they face a grave threat, they will attack and fight to the death.
and that is why i believe i relate to them so well.
Oh stop whining Jimmy. The U.S. is spying on everyone.
Let me understand this????
One of the biggest liberals of modern history is worried about the abuse of over-liberalization???
Go Jimmy Go
at 89 the peanuts are gone, it’s just the shells that are left, and the bag they’re dangling in is dusting the floor.
Motion seconded. One of the more-deserving ones.
And you beat me to it...
