Ex-U.S. President Carter plans to visit North Korea - report
July 29, 2013 - 05:15
SEOUL (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is planning to visit North Korea soon to try to win the release of a U.S. citizen held for committing crimes against the reclusive state, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported on Monday.
Carter has made contact with the North to arrange for the visit, and he is likely to make the trip in a personal capacity to secure the release of Kenneth Bae, the U.S. citizen, a source in Washington was quoted as saying by Yonhap.
"The issue of Kenneth Bae who has been held in the North for nine months is becoming a burden for the United States," the diplomatic source was quoted as saying by Yonhap.
"Even if Carter's visit materialises, it will be focused on the issue of Kenneth's Bae's release more than anything else."

Nobody in U.S. has more pictures taken with world's worst totalitarian dictators than Carter. This so-called humanitarian never raised the issue of appalling human right condition in N. Korea when he met his counterpart. Not once.

“Obama the worst president??? Oh no, we can’t have that,” said Jimmy Carter, and off he went to visit the norks.

Maybe he wants to help rebuild Kim Jong-un’s ski resort? You know, Habitat for Dictators.

Fidel is not bad enough for Jimmah to have his picture taken with him. At least he does not habitually kidnap American citizens. Jimmah only hangs out with the worst of the worst.

In fairness to Carter, if he can bring Bae back, without giving the NORKs anything for him, then I say Godspeed.
We should all want an American citizen held on ridiculous, trumped up charges by a virulent communist tyrant returned forthwith!
To: TigerLikesRooster
Let's hope Jimmah defects and the NorKs keep him. They deserve another god, besides Kim Jong-un, to worship.
To: TigerLikesRooster
Maybe they will keep him.
