More from Jimmy Carter
I watched him on television. I thought what he said was absolutely ridiculous. There's no rational or logic to what he had to say.
I don't think so. Maybe he'll change his mind when he sees the recommendation of the upcoming committee Monday morning.
But my hope is that there will be some clarification of what the United States is doing now and what they will be doing in the future.
But among those who believe the case should be re-opened are politicians who don't always agree with each other, ranging from former president, Jimmy Carter to conservative former Georgia congressman, Bob Barr.
