As an ex president, Carter’s statements on this carry weight. It can be assumed he has (or has had) access to sensitive intelligence, which he has chosen to compromise

Why? Who benefits from this compromise?

You've gotta be kidding. Think of the era in which he was President. I was in college, the internet hadn't been invented, Bill Gates was still working out of his garage and Macintosh was a kind of western raincoat. Anything he knew of any importance was obsolete inside of ten years, max. I seriously doubt that anybody in GW's administration gave him clearance above FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) that every citizen has. He might be getting raw data from his elite buddies in the CFR and T/C but that's all.

I’m saying that nothing has been compromised if his number is right in the middle of “most estimates.” Doesn’t sound like inside info to me.

Part of me thinks the Pentagon should send the FBI to arrest Carter on charges of compromising classified intelligence (10 years/$10,000 per violation).

On the one hand, should a US President be allowed to violate that particular law and get a pass, just because he’s an ex-Pres?

On the other, the act would serve to confirm the leaked intel, and bring down the wrath of moonbats everywhere.

With absolutely no skin in the game myself, I’d send in the Feds. Not my career or kid’s futures on the line.

In my book, the very notion of what the US is about - a nation of laws - falls apart if Carter isn’t arrested and tried for the crime.

Just ol' peanut head himself.

Gets his name in the papers again and makes him feel important.
