#4 There is such a thing as proprietorial discretion. This should protect Carter's precious hob nobs with terror groups.

Notwithstanding this, he does have a point. The law ought to be amended to specifically exempt contact with terror groups which has the explicit intent of persuading them to stop committing terror. Possibly other exemptions would be appropriate as well.

This is not to say that I feel such efforts are worthwhile. I simply think they ought to be legal.

#5 The law, part of the post-9/11 USA Patriot Act, forbids the provision of any aid, defined as including "service," "training" or "expert advice or assistance," to a designated FTO.
This law was actually passed during Clinton's administration. It was encorporated into the Patriot Act. Even NPR got that part right.

#6 Only reason he should worry is he knows in his heart that the people he's dealing with ARE terrorists. Asshole...

#8 The law ought to be amended to specifically exempt contact with terror groups which has the explicit intent of persuading them to stop committing terror.

There is no evidence that is Carter's intention. On the contrary, the more violent the group, the more admiration he appears to have for them.

#9 If the law is changed just so Jimmah can frolick with his beloved terrorists I intend to stop eating American peanut butter since I suspect some of Jimmah's peanuts may have ended in the specific Jar I may buy.
too bad, I really liked Skippy chunky PB

#10 lder, worry not. The peanuts grown in Jimmuh's neck of the woods are used for making peanut oil. I'm not so certain he even has a peanut business any more.

#11 So why would Carter want to do this anyway? Consorting with our enemies? Senile old futzer.

#12 Senile old futzer.

#13 Don't worry, Jimmy. No matter what happens, in my heart you will always be Worst President Ever.

#14 Jimmy Carter in handcuffs, being frog-marched by the FBI after his arrest . . .

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

#15 As long as the law doesn't effect his paycheck from the Saudi's he should be OK.
