Former President Jimmy Carter has been linked with a key figure in the U.N.'s oil-for-food scandal by the group leading the nationwide effort to evict the United Nations from American soil and halt U.S. funding of the U.N.

Do you know if UN officials qualify for diplomatic immunity?

I would assume so.

I wonder even if a UN official could be charged under US law.

The bigger question here is who will be left standing if, when, and after, oil-for-food can be unbiasedly investigated?

Which I doubt is possible.

Hey, Jimmy Carter and Michael Moore seemed awfully chummy at the Democratic National Convention. I wonder if Moore got any food from Jimmy?

"A World of Friends" was an Atlanta-based company launched with a board of directors totaling seven individuals – including Vincent, Smith and Young. Vincent was described in the firm's first press release as the "president of an energy company."

Vincent's cost of doing business, a token sum to Chip's pet project, some rosy language to placate the rube Carter family, and the religious leaders used as pawns to create the veneer of respectable humanitarian. Vincent almost walked away with millions in profits, Carter is not even gullible, he's imbecilic in his simplicity. His vanity blinds him to a classic scam, for this man was so easily sated in his appetite for respectability and reverence he fell hook line and sinker for this huckster's hustle. So Jimmy Carter might be innocent, but his reputation won't even be mentioned in the future history books.

This could turn into an intriguing movie though. Elements of James Bond flicks, Clancy novels, and realistic war movies like Black Hawk Down. Might be made too, cause the Americans will be the fools.

Bush should pardon him immediately, and very publicly. That would be great, really...JFK

As intensely as I hate Jimmy Carter I question this story. Carter is driven by ego, lust for power and attention, and an obsessive self righteousness. I don't think the quest for money is in his makeup.

In re your six paragraphs of comment:

1. This topic is a huge political bombshell and will probably be the Democrat Party's worse nightmare. Maybe the association/participation of a few more high-profile Dems will be revealed.

2., 4. & 5. Carter certainly did present himself as well-meaning. But so sanctimonious, and also a nitpicking micro-manager. Since he chose to associate (cavort?) almost exclusively with Socialists and their causes over at least the last decade, this revelation will reward him with a well deserved comeuppance.

3. Did Ol' Jimmie ever meet a Socialist or learn about a socialist program he didn't like?
I dispute with you about "freedom we enjoy as U.S. citizens." Think IRS. And I urge you to become acquainted with the legal definition of U.S. citizen or alternatively, "citizen of the United States" and the liabilities and jurisdiction individual Americans innocently accept when they voluntarily define themselves as such.

6. Unfortunately, the U.S. government has been cultivating and financing tyrannical regimes since at least WWII. The U.S. financed Saddam Hussein until he attacked Kuwait. Same with Manuel Noriega who's now kept in permanent solitary confinement. Knows too much that would embarrass the U.S. government.

When he was President, I always thought he was a good man, but inept and naive.

I guess giving away the Panama Canal that we bought and paid for didn't impress you.

I guess pulling prop out from under the Shah of Iran and allowing him to be toppled by radical Islam didn't impress you.

I guess the poor condition of our military helicopters during the hostage rescue attempt in Iran didn't impress you.

Jimah Catah is the only president in my lifetime that I had to turn off the TV when he came on, just to protect the TV from being hit by thrown objects. I turned off Clinton for a different reason after he lied to the Grand Jury.

This person is a leftist America hater.

Jack Kemp is also implicated with this Vincent putz. FBI *interviewed* him last October, IIRC.

How can such "caring" worldly" people be such complete idiots? The mind reels.

That's assuming, of course, that the naive gullility he presents isn't an act. An assumption, which as they say, isn't necessarily valid...

I have come to believe that nobody can be as inept and naive as he appears to be, so I am starting to conclude that he is a actually corrupt or evil, posing as a good man.

Bing! Bing! Bing! We have a winner!!

The U.S. hostages in Iran were held for 444 days under the
Jimmy Carter administration and released the DAY that
Ronald Reagan took office
for his first term in 1981.
