Ari Fleischer Rips Ex President Jimmy Carter in Letter
President Bush's former press secretary lambasted Jimmy Carter for saying Israel's military response to Hezbollah attacks had no legal or moral basis.
Ari Fleischer's letter to Carter, dated Monday, rebukes the ex-president for his remarks in an Aug. 15 interview with Der Spiegel.
Carter accused Israel of lacking any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon.
Carter equated Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners with the soldiers Hezbollah captured in the July 12 raid that launched the war.
Israel is holding almost 10,000 prisoners, so when the militants in Lebanon or in Gaza take one or two soldiers, Israel looks upon this as a justification for an attack on the civilian population of Lebanon and Gaza,Carter said. "I do not think that's justified, no.
Fleischer said, " those words are music to Hezbollah's ears and your message is a blow to long-term peace. Your condemnation of Israel, the victim, only encourages Hezbollah, the attacker, to bide its time and attack again."
Fleischer, who is Jewish, was President George Bush's press secretary from 2001-2003.
A call to the Carter Center on Tuesday was not returned.

good on you jimmy for speaking the truth.
Jimmy Carter's administration while emasculating the US military, brought the Ayatollah Khomeni to power in Iran by failing to help the Shaw, a flawed but fairly progressive regime for that part of the world.
The Ayatollahs of Iran now fund most of the terror plots on the planet.
For Carter to oppose Hezbollah is to admit his own complicity in bringing that criminal organization into being.
Carter was foolish and short sighted and helped the USA lose Iran. He also helped Yaser Arafat and his murdering henchment and Carter remains a fool in his speach and his activities to this day.
Jimmy Carter looks and sounds like a Sunday school teacher in the Universal Pacifist Reform Church of Realtivism ,Flexibility and Appeasement.
He comes on like a nice guy, a saint, and because of his philosophy of "kindness to the Cruel" , he is forced to be cruel to the Just. Lacking a true moral center of gravity,he endeavors to engraciate himself to every anti-American and anti-Israel body in the name of latter day pacifism and defeatism.
