It's not likely to happen, but Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., wants Carter's U.S. passport pulled because he met Thursday with members of Hamas in the Middle East.

Hamas is the party of the elected government in the Palestinian territory of Gaza. The State Department lists Hamas as a terrorist group, however, meaning U.S. officials are not to meet with them.

Myrick has called for Carter's passport to be removed and for U.S. taxpayer money to be cut off from the Carter Center, the former president's library and global humanitarian institution in Atlanta.

Rice says Carter was warned against meeting with Hamas

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday the Bush administration explicitly warned former President Jimmy Carter against meeting with members of Hamas, the Palestinian faction that controls the Gaza Strip and which is regarded by the U.S. as a terror group.

Rice, attending a regional meeting on Iraq's security and future, contradicted Carter's assertions that he never got a clear signal from the State Department. Rice told reporters that the U.S. thought the visit could confuse the message that the U.S. will not deal with Hamas.

"I just don't want there to be any confusion," Rice said. "The United States is not going to deal with Hamas and we had certainly told President Carter that we did not think meeting with Hamas was going to help" further a political settlement between Israel and the Palestinians.

Carter won no specific concessions from Hamas. He defended his trip during remarks Monday in Jerusalem. He said he failed to convince the top Hamas boss, Khaled Mashaal, that he could gain international goodwill if he stopped rocket fire on Israel for one month.

"I did the best I could," Carter said. "They turned me down, and I think they're wrong."


They should lock him up in jail for a few weeks.............he needs to go back to his house building or peanut farming...

Yeah, you wouldn't want anyone sticking their nose into attempting peace. I think that's called....diplomacy?....I haven't seen it practiced for about 8 years so I'm not really sure anymore.

kissing the @ss of a terrorist organization is not what i call diplomacy..............they STILL turned him down............he mad an idiot of himself on this one....

[Sandy Eggo]

It's apparent they appreciated the attempt at communication, but they knew that he doesn't hold any power. For the time being the shrub does and he's not about peace at all.
