Carter Seeks Vote in U.N. Against U.S.

I don't know if the Logan act applies to ex-Presidents, if it doesn't, it should.....

President Carter personally called Secretary of State Rice to try to convince her to reverse her U.N. ambassador's position on changes to the U.N. Human Rights Commission, the former president recalled yesterday in a talk in which he also criticized President Bush's Christian bona fides and misstated past American policies on Israel.

Mr. Carter said he made a personal promise to ambassadors from Egypt, Pakistan, and Cuba on the U.N. change issue that was undermined by America's ambassador, John Bolton. "My hope is that when the vote is taken," he told the Council on Foreign Relations, "the other members will outvote the United States."

More like he made a personal promise to these ambassadors with absolutely no authority in order to directly undermine the current administration's foreign policy position.
