Jimmy Carter has some courage.


Carter roasts Bush over Iraq
From correspondents in Wasington
November 03, 2005
FORMER US president Jimmy Carter overnight accused President George W. Bush's administration of degrading moral standards underpinning decades of US foreign policy.

Mr Carter seized on a Washington Post report that the United States had set up secret detention centres around the world for terror suspects in an interview with NBC's Today Show.

"In the last five years there has been a profound and radical change in the basic policies or moral values of our country," said Mr Carter, a Democratic Party president between 1977 and 1981.

"This is just one indication of what has been done under this administration to change the policies that have persisted all the way through our history."

While Mr Carter said he had not seen proof the Bush administration manipulated intelligence in the run up to war with Iraq, he condemned the administration over claims that Iraq had links to terror groups.








"I think that the claims that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and the claims that he had massive weapons of mass destruction that would threaten our country were manipulated at least to mislead the American people into going to war," he said.
