TIME FOR THE LOGAN ACT FOR DHIMMI CARTER

Dhimmi Carter admitted to ABC news that he has been in discussions with Hamas terrorists for years:
"I've been meeting with Hamas leaders for years," Carter said.
The Logan Act (1799, Amended 1994) "forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments."

§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.

1 Stat. 613, January 30, 1799, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 953 (2004).

Doesn't the Logan Act cover Dhimmi Carter's travels to encourage anti-American terrorists?

Several State Department officials, including the secretary, Condoleezza Rice, criticized Carter's plans to talk in Syria this week with exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal in the first public contact in two years between a prominent American figure and the group. Carter said he had not heard the objections directly, although a State Department spokesman said earlier that a senior official from the department had called the former president.

"I feel quite at ease in doing this," Carter said. "I think there's no doubt in anyone's mind that, if Israel is ever going to find peace with justice concerning the relationship with their next-door neighbors, the Palestinians, that Hamas will have to be included in the process."

Although he said the meeting would not be a negotiation, he outlined distinct goals.

"I think that it's very important that at least someone meet with the Hamas leaders to express their views, to ascertain what flexibility they have, to try to induce them to stop all attacks against innocent civilians in Israel and to cooperate with the Fatah as a group that unites the Palestinians, maybe to get them to agree to a cease-fire - things of this kind," he said.

The State Department says it advised Carter twice against meeting representatives of Hamas, which Washington considers a terrorist organization.

He was warned twice.

Time for an indcitment.

And was this a Freudian slip or what? --

"I think that it's very important that at least someone meet with the Hamas leaders to express their views . . .

Not "to ascertain their views," but "to express their views!"

He admits he sees himself as a mouthpiece for murderers!

Meanwhile, the man who decided to boycott the Moscow Olympics, causing the CCCP to boycott the Los Angeles Olympics, doesn't think Beijing deserves similar treatment:

As president, Carter led the boycott of the Moscow Olympics in protest against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. "That was a totally different experience in 1980, when the Soviet Union had brutally invaded and killed thousands and thousands of people," he said, rejecting the idea of boycotting the Beijing games to protest China's crackdown in Tibet. He did not address whether just the opening ceremonies should be boycotted.

The worst President in American history is also the worst ex-President. He is sympathetic to every anti-American, communist-inspired tyranny in the world, and he blames Americans for failing to fall into line with his folk-marxist folly.

Just like Barack [middle name redacted] Obama, isn't he?
