If anyone has any doubt that Jimmy Carter is a paid propagandist for terrorists and murderers....
This from the CS Monitor, (http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/1005/p99s01-duts.html) "There is a legal definition of genocide and Darfur does not meet that legal standard. The atrocities were horrible but I don't think it qualifies to be called genocide," he said. Washington is almost alone in branding the 4 1/2 years of violence in Darfur genocide. Khartoum rejects the term, European governments are reluctant to use it and a U.N.-appointed commission of inquiry found no genocide, but that some individuals may have acted with genocidal intent. Carter, whose charitable foundation, the Carter Center, worked to establish the International Criminal Court (ICC), said: "If you read the law textbooks ... you'll see very clearly that it's not genocide and to call it genocide falsely just to exaggerate a horrible situation I don't think it helps." Emphasis added.
So far as many as 450,000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur_conflict)have died in Darfur.

Or his declaration than Palestinians are suffering a fate worse than Rwanda:
“So the persecution of the Palestinians now, under the occupying territories—under the occupation forces—is one of the worst examples of human rights deprivation that I know. And I think it‘s—
SHUSTER: Even worse, though, than a place like Rwanda?
CARTER: Yes. I think—yes. You mean, now?
SHUSTER: Yes.
CARTER: Yes.”
