Jimmy Carter linked to U.N. oil-for-food scam

Story dated 20 January 2005

Carter has close ties to "Samir Vincent, who yesterday pleaded guilty to participating in numerous illegal activities as part of the U.N. scandal." Move America Forward will now be asking Carter to "provide a full accounting of his meetings and conversations" with this man. Now, before you say it is ridiculous to accuse an elder statesman like Carter of malfeasance, consider slightly different circumstances. Substitute Carter's name for Bush or Cheney and pretend that Samir Vincent is the president of an energy company (which he actually has been described as being). Given that combination, I would bet good money that the story would be front-page news nationwide.
