Jimmy Carter Worries Court Ruling May Affect His Interaction With Terror Groups Tuesday, June 22, 2010 By Patrick Goodenough, International Editor
(CNSNews.com) – Former President Jimmy Carter has voiced concern that Monday’s Supreme Court ruling on “material support” to terrorist groups may criminalize his “work to promote peace and freedom.”
Carter, whose advocacy has entailed contact with groups designated by the U.S. government as “foreign terrorist organizations” (FTOs) – notably Hamas and Hezbollah – said he was disappointed by the court decision.
The high court, in a 6-3 decision, upheld a federal law that forbids providing “material support” to an FTO, ruling that it can be applied to U.S. organizations whose engagement with terrorists involves promoting non-violent solutions to conflicts.
The law, part of the post-9/11 USA Patriot Act, forbids the provision of any aid, defined as including “service,” “training” or “expert advice or assistance,” to a designated FTO.
Although the free speech challenge derived from organizations wanting to work with terrorist groups in and around Turkey and in Sri Lanka – the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and Tamil Tigers (LTTE) – the ramifications may be most evident in 2010 in the Middle East, amid growing calls for Western governments to recognize and engage with groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

Carter has been aiding terrorists and enabling despots for decades. Why should this make any difference to his life’s goal.

Sorry abut the triple post. Have no clue how that happened.
I never thought that this worthless piece of $hit Traitor President could be replaced by another of the same cloth. Well, I was correct. The Current President is bigger Worthless Piece of $hit traitor than Carter.
The peanut farmer has another bad crop.
I have a suggestion for Mr. Carter. He can renounce his U.S. citizenship and move to the middle east and live in Gaza.
His conflict resolved.
No!
