Is former president Jimmy Carter a lover of democracy, human rights activist and genteel southerner or is he the worst kind of hypocrite known to mankind?

According to Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin's memoirs it's the latter.

NRO has an excellent piece on the dangerous game Carter played in an attempt to defeat Reagan during the 1980 election and it wasn't the first election he wanted Soviet help with...

John Weidner has a compelling piece on the same subject.

Both are definitely worth a read!
