Gullible? Really?
If so, you may also be gullible. Carter was never as outspoken against US interests until the late 90's. Now we know the reason.
AIM Report: Saddam's Secret Campaign to Stop the War - December 23, 2004
"Ritter was involved in secret negotiations for a "peace plan" that had the approval of both Jimmy Carter and Saddam Hussein"
"Ritter told AIM he contacted former U.S. president Jimmy Carter about the plan, both directly and through former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev's office. (Gorbachev currently heads the Gorbachev Foundation, a Moscow-based think tank.) Ritter said, "When Carter first heard of it he indicated support. Then he decided as a former president he could not make the trip." However, once the plan became public, Carter planned on announcing his support of it, Ritter said.
Carter told AIM via a spokesman, "No such trip was planned," and cited travel and schedule considerations as reason to decline further comment."

"Did President Carter know he was dealing with an agent of Saddam Hussein or was he just terribly gullible?"
I vote for gullible too! lol
My vote is on willful, intentional, anti-American behavior..
Peanut Breath is still angry that his was a failed and inept Presidency, and is hell bent to punish Americans for not loving and respecting him as much as the Communist/Islamist bastards of the world, "love and respect him"....
Carter has always been the GOLD STANDARD for "useful idiot" to the enemies of America.
Semper Fi
I vote for 'useful idiot'.
No way. Carter may be a political knucklehead, but he's not stupid. Remember BCCI.He got peanuts from that. OIL For FOOD is serious money.
I vote for gullible. Very gullible.
Gullible was always a given with this socialist and I don't see why the answer to the question wouldn't be "BOTH".
Carter has the gullible, innocent look and demeanor. However, I am beginning to wonder if he is not a dangerous promoter of communism, globalism or carterism. Can someone check to donations to the Carter Center. Rush always says follow the money trail.
You have to wonder how a guy could become wealthy working for peanuts.
Carter is not gullible, he is power/legacy crazed. Carter is determined to go down in history as having made a difference and he's determined that advancing world socialism is the most expedient end to that goal.

I vote for gullible, too. Ditto with that nuclear arms deal he brokered with North Korea in the 90's. Sort of like Madeline Not-so-Bright, re: North Korea: "They fooled us!"
They may have fooled YOU, Madame Secretary, but the didn't fool us for a second.
HUBRIS??? /sarcasm
Jimmy Carter is not nor has ever been gullible....although he might like to make us all think that....Years ago, when he was president, we had breakfast with Dick Lugar. At that time he gave example of Carter's uncanny memory of names, places, and details.....Don't think for a moment he has lost any of that.....My take is the price of peanuts has gone down...Ol Jimmuh needs the monuh!
Me too. Carter was a vindictive little twirp, and he was gullable as all get out, but I don't think he's corrupt.
Then again, who knows? There has to be SOME explaination for his sheer and utter incompetence.
