What bothers me is not whether Jimmy is guilty or innocent, but rather that the majority of folks who write about this, or any other topic for that matter, seem to be unable to engage their brains prior to picking up a pen or turning on their PC.
Have you all forgotten, or more probably, been unaware, that President Carter has done more great things after departing from the presidency that any other president? He's been involved with the building, personally mind you, of over 100 houses with Habitat for Humanity, meets with diplomats to discuss important global issues (ending cotton subsidies to help maintain the lively hood of small farmers as one example) and he builds furniture by hand. Know, I realize many of you would not consider that last one important. However, most people couldn't build something useful by themselves if their lives depended on it, so I rank that one rather high myself.
None the less, we are talking about Jimmy Carter here. It would be perhaps the greatest plot twist of all if someone could prove that Carter was intentionally involved in a Food for Oil scam. Not likely, though.
I, for one, will patiently await the results of thorough and complete investigations prior to condeming the man for meeting with someone who was involved in wrong doing. After all, we all have done the same and I don't expect the Feds to come knocking at our doors any time soon.
