Carter Accepts $1 Million From Bin Laden Family

Jimmy Carter's center in Atlanta received more than $1 million dollars from the Bin Laden family after meeting with 10 of OBL's brothers in early 2000.

The money has been donated in roughly $200,000 increments since then.

World News Daily reporter Melanie Morgan calls the connection between Carter and the bin Laden family "Exactly the kind of charge Michael Moore leveled against President Bush in the film Fahrenheit 9/11."

I'm willing to bet we won't see any 'shocking' films coming out over this one...

Ironically, the Carters hosted Moore in the presidential viewing box at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

Co-incidence... Break out the tinfoil hats folks... No, really.

In all seriousness, I believe it is questionable at best to accept 'donations' from the bin Laden family; the apple seldom falls far from the tree. It is also the height of hypocrisy to cavort with the same filmmaker who called Bush a traitor, while taking money from the folks who raised the most infamous Islamic terrorist of our time.

Morgan goes on to report even more of Carter's impropriety, which I believe borders on treason.

Carter was linked with a key figure in the U.N.'s oil-for-food scandal, Samir Vincent, who pleaded guilty to participating in numerous illegal activities.

Vincent admitted to receiving allocations for more than 9 million barrels of oil between 1996 and 2003 in return for serving as an agent of Saddam Hussein's regime. He worked at Hussein's direction, lobbying U.S. and U.N. officials to end sanctions and to instead implement the oil-for-food scam.

The first documented contact between Carter and Vincent was in September 1999. Vincent had organized a tour of Iraqi religious leaders to meet with individuals in the United States who might be persuaded to speak out against the sanctions against Iraq. The trip also included discussions of ways to oppose U.S. and British air strikes against Iraqi missile batteries in southern Iraq, which had fired on American and British aircraft engaged in enforcing the southern "No Fly Zone."
