Jimmy Carter: “Education is a key factor in the development not only of individual citizens but of the country as a whole.”

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.

This is a very wise and very courageous thing for President Obama to do. And in my opinion, is long overdue.

There's only one chance and one life to count for something. And my faith tells me, or my faith demands, that I use whatever I have whenever I can, to make a difference in people's lives.

All of us owe them our gratitude and respect.
