I never thought the words “Thank you Jimmy Carter” would come out of my mouth, but it just did!!

Due to rules that allow the New York Times to hide the truth, the only way to read the article is to pay for it through the NYT website.

One can hear ol' horseface intoning that, "If GWB is allowed to have the authority to surveil US citizen contacts with our friends its opponents in foreign lands, the next JFK could end up like Aldrich Aimes, in jail for life with no chance of parole!"

I don't know if I'd go as faa as to say thank you. After all he's just doing something intelligent for once.

Jimmy Carter's Support Is Worse than his silence.

Misleading article. Carter has SAID NOTHING, his EO is just one of MANY that PRESIDENTS from FDR on have realized is necessary to defend this nation.

[GSWarrior]

uh oh....Jimmuh just lost his street cred!

The word "spying" sounds so ugly and not altogether very true.

The better term, I would hazard to suggest, would be "Terrorist Surveillance."

It is more descriptive and, really, it is the target in the first place!

[Right Wing Assault]

If Jimma can overcome his slide into senility for a few moments to ponder the situation, he will say that this is a different situation since the people we are looking at are Muzzles and everyone knows that they are members of the Religion of Peace. Even though he has lusted in his heart, he knows that these people never have and that they are holy people who mean us no harm and it is an insult to all that is good to suspect them of any evil, including wanting to blow all our a$$e$ off the face of the earth as soon as they can.

No, thank you, Jimma Carter. Go plant your nuts in the back 40.

I think it's worth pointing out that the referenced E.O. predates FISA. After FISA became law, Carter amended the E.O. so that electronic surveillance would thereafter be
conducted in accordance FISA.

I have not read all of the posts but I was over at that other site and this has made their news. I did not read anything but the headlines.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I would just as soon have Jimmy Carter stay off my side since he's been such a crackhead on a lot of other issues. A stopped clock is right twice a day.

[Recovering_Democrat]

MY PREDICTION:

Jimmy Carter will write a lengthy op-ed piece for the NY Slimes detailing why his spying without court orders or permission was totally different and Constitutional from G.W. Bush's.

The fix is in: the Slimes and the 'rats (but I repeat myself) will do anything to undermine President Bush and the War on Terror!

Well, he did sign the Foreign Intelligence Survelliance Act into law.

[Zack Nguyen]

Great find!

[Khashayar]

he is still a disgrace!

he helped ayatollahs ruin my country! he took our king from us.

[Guenevere]

I have yet to reach the point....and doubtless I ever will...

...where I can say 'Thank-you' to Jimmy Carter.

I am ashamed of Jimmy Carter.
