Is The Carter Center Playing Politics and With Words?


The Cater Center "Preliminary Statement" was issued on May 26. The full report will be issued after four months. 

I have to say I'm quite surprised Jimmy Carter is all over the media endorsing the elections and declaring the process "acceptable" despite "some violations" given the very serious restrictions imposed on the observers that led to labeling their mission "limited".  We are also concerned by Carter's creativity with words as he declared the "vote" acceptable instead of "elections" acceptable. 

Below are two excerpts from the Statements that show the serious restrictions imposed on The Carter Center and the disconnect between his words and his center's Preliminary Statement.
