Jimmy Carter Accuses U.S. of ‘Widespread Abuse of Human Rights’
ABC News ^ | Jun 25, 2012

A former U.S. president is accusing the current president of sanctioning the “widespread abuse of human rights” by authorizing drone strikes to kill suspected terrorists.

Jimmy Carter, America’s 39th president, denounced the Obama administration for “clearly violating” 10 of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, writing in a New York Times op-ed on Monday that the “United States is abandoning its role as the global champion of human rights.”

“Instead of making the world safer, America’s violation of international human rights abets our enemies and alienates our friends,” Carter wrote.

carter is a traitor. he has criticized the US from beyond water’s edge and now does the same.

I don’t care who is POTUS — he did the same under Bush.

He should climb back under a rock.

Says the man who supports and empowers Jihadi terrorists every chance he gets. But then, he IS on the Saudi payroll.

I agree with him though not in the same way he meant it. A nation that allows the legal murder of 50 million of its own unborn citizens can not be a leader in human rights.

Jimmy, if you think it’s bad now, just wait until he’s won reelection.

Does this mean he won't be supporting Obama for president?

Laughable! It's clearly Bush's fault!

Reagan kicked it hard, and I think the evidence is in, it did damage far removed. Carter should wear a placard everywhere he goes.

Come to think of it, the evidence is in there too. I hasn’t just been rented. It’s owned...

Earlier today, I was thinking how nice it has been not hearing from Jimmah Carter in awhile. Then I read this.

Now I’m wondering who was the last Democrat president who actually loved this country. I know it wasn’t the last three. Truman?

Anyone else see the irony of Carter indicting Obama the Peace Prize winner for war crimes?
