BULLETIN:  NATION POSSIBLY IN DANGER – AT 7:05 A.M. ET:  We at Urgent Agenda are entirely committed to the safety of the United States.  When that safety is threatened, we let you know immediately.  Today we have a crisis:

(CNSNews.com) – Former President Jimmy Carter has voiced concern that Monday’s Supreme Court ruling on “material support” to terrorist groups may criminalize his “work to promote peace and freedom.”

Carter, whose advocacy has entailed contact with groups designated by the U.S. government as “foreign terrorist organizations” (FTOs) – notably Hamas and Hezbollah – said he was disappointed by the court decision...

...Arguing that there can be no peace in the region without those groups’ participation, Carter has reached out to Hamas and Hezbollah, rejecting criticism that doing so could be viewed as legitimizing their violent activities. Since the 1980s both groups have killed hundreds of people in suicide bombings and other terror attacks, most of them Israelis and Americans.

You will notice all the good that Carter has done.  In the immortal words of Dwight Eisenhower, in another context, if you give me a week, I might be able to think of something.

In a statement reacting to the decision, Carter said, “We are disappointed that the Supreme Court has upheld a law that inhibits the work of human rights and conflict resolution groups.”

“The ‘material support law’ – which is aimed at putting an end to terrorism – actually threatens our work and the work of many other peacemaking organizations that must interact directly with groups that have engaged in violence,” he said.

“The vague language of the law leaves us wondering if we will be prosecuted for our work to promote peace and freedom.”

Well, there goes Mideast peace.  And just when Carter was on the verge of achieving it. 

Damn Supreme Court, always on the side of the BUSH (!!) crowd.

Without Jimmah Carter, what are we going to do?

For laughs.
