President Peanut at it again...

So as we all (hopefully) know, former US president Jimmy Carter is actively involved in several foreign service projects. Perhaps his most notable one to date is an attempt to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (in my humble opinion writing a book and calling it Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid and comparing the Israelis to the South African whites is not the way to do it, but I never said the man was thinking rationally).

This weekend marks at least the second time that Mr. Carter is going to meet with representatives of Hamas, an organization recognized by most of the world as a terrorist organization (its charter includes a paragraph in which it details the group's goal to destroy the state of Israel). As a former US president, Mr. Carter receives Secret Service protection for the rest of his life--this brings up an interesting point: when his Secret Service bodyguards notice wanted fugitives, why do they not use their powers of arrest to execute the warrants on these people?

Point of Discussion: So what does everyone think of Mr. Carter's little meetings with terrorists?
