See if Michael Moore will do a movie on this one...

Lloyd Greif on Carter Center
"If he was hoping to rekindle a flagging peace process, Carter is doomed to failure. But is that really what he was attempting to accomplish? A hint lies in the very organization he said he was representing on this trip, the Carter Center. His not-for-profit research and activist organization has prospered as a direct result of Arab largesse. Saudi Arabia, the source of 15 of the 19 plane hijackers on 9/11, and whose royal family has funded terrorism outside the kingdom, has channeled tens of millions of dollars into the Carter Center. In 1993 alone, the late King Fahd gifted $7.6 million. More recently, the King’s nephew, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, donated at least $5 million. The Saudi Fund for Development is a recurring supporter, as is the family of Osama bin Laden."


"It would seem Carter is acting as a lobbyist for foreign interests and should be required to register as such. At the very least, he should come clean and disclose all foreign sources of funding for his center. It is indeed a sad day in American history when a former president lowers himself to becoming a propaganda tool for terrorists bent on harming our country and the democratic principles by which we live."
