Timm,
I read the article you linked. I'll go back and reread it to see if I missed anything. Blaming Carter doesn't pass the "smell" test, anymore than blaming
the invasion of Iraq on any other than the "decider" does.
In the meanwhile, read this one. It's about a president that skirted law and hid facts from congress, so that he and his buddies could supply arms to the theocracy in Iran.
