Jimmy Carter: Round 2

For those who hold ex-President Jimmy Carter in high regard, one need look no further than his new book Palestine or Apartheid for evidence to the contrary. Carter stands accused of several literary sins ranging from historical revisionism to outright plagiarism. Dennis Ross directly accuses Carter or cribbing maps from his own book without giving proper sourcing. Further, other critics have seen Carter's blatant anti-Israel attitude throughout. Clearly, Carter's latest attempt at rehabilitating his woeful reputation as a weak kneed president was not helped by his latest book.
