Act - Bill Wilson
By Bill Wilson, KIN Senior Analyst
Former President Jimmy Carter should be prosecuted under the Logan Act for attempting to negotiate with a terrorist entity against the wishes of the Federal government. Carter has stated his plans to meet with Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal, who hasn't had any official contact with an American in two years. Hamas, under Mashaal's leadership has been responsible for war against Israel and the training of terrorists to fight and kill American soldiers in Iraq. That the former President Carter would even consider meeting with such an enemy against the express objections of the U.S. State Department is a crime against every American citizen.
The Logan Act was passed in 1799 and makes it a felony for any United States citizen "wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."

The State Department has publicly objected to Carter's meeting. National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley told ABC that "The position of the government is that Hamas is a terrorist organization and we don't negotiate with terrorists. We think that's a very important principle to maintain. The State Department made clear we think it's not useful for people to be running to Hamas at this point and having meetings." Carter says, however, the State Department had not contacted him directly, but the State Department says otherwise. Carter says that he has been meeting with Hamas for years. In other words, he has been violating American law and policy for years.
Carter was undoubtedly the worst president in modern history. His bad judgment started the terrorist problem when he supported the radical Ayatollah Khamenei by helping depose the Shah of Iran. Carter is a friend of terrorists such as Yassir Arafat. According to Carter's former National Security Advisor Zbignew Brzezinski admitted in 1997 that the Carter Administration supported radical Islamists in an attempt to quell communism. Trading one bad idea for another seems to still be the Carter modus operendi. Additionally, Carter’s Presidential library was funded by Arab interests: Click here:
Proverbs 12:15 says, "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkens unto counsel is wise." And the Carter legacy continues because the authorities refuse to stop it.
