In sum, Mr. Carter may have violated U.S. law by meeting with officials of Hamas, thereby deliberately “defeat(ing)” the policy of the United States to isolate Hamas as a terrorist organization. Of course, no one (including me) is suggesting that Mr. Carter be prosecuted under the Logan Act for his actions. On the other hand, Mr. Carter’s possible disdain for federal law is, at a minimum, troubling behavior for a former president. If Secretary Rice’s version of events is correct and Mr. Carter was told not to do what he did, Mr. Carter, with prior notice, violated the Logan Act by meeting Hamas’ leadership.
