Pentagon advisor Bob Maginnis says former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is violating two federal laws in his meeting with a terrorist Hamas leader in Damascus, Syria.
Lt. Col. Maginnis (USA-Ret.) recently wrote a column in Human Events called "Hamas' Useful Idiot." The column's title refers to Jimmy Carter, who -- despite requests from the U.S. State Department not to do so -- is meeting with a Hamas leader. Maginnis says there is a good reason why a rendezvous with this terrorist was not a good idea. The retired defense expert points out that Khaled Meshaal has aligned himself with Muqtada al-Sadr in Iraq, and that Meshaal "calls on Sadr and others to basically kill as many Americans as they can." Maginnis also believes that Carter has violated several federal statutes in meeting with this terrorist leader. "The Logan Act, which is 200 years old, as well as the USA Patriot Act of 2001 ... is very clear that if you provide advice to a terrorist organization, you could actually earn life imprisonment," he details. Carter's plan to showcase his opposition to the government, Maginnis continues, makes him just one among a number of prominent Democrats who have violated the law by meeting with the avowed enemies of the United States. The other Democrats he refers to include Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-California), actress Jane Fonda, and civil rights leader Jesse Jackson.
