ATLANTA: Fourteen members of a Carter Center advisory board, who worked to build support for the human rights organization started by former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, have resigned in protest over Carter's latest book.
The resignations, announced Thursday, are the latest in a backlash against Carter's book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," which has drawn fire from Jewish groups, been attacked by fellow Democrats and led to the resignation last month of Kenneth Stein, a Carter Center fellow and a longtime Carter adviser.
In their letter of resignation, the members of the Center's Board of Councilors wrote of Carter, "you have clearly abandoned your historic role of broker in favor of becoming an advocate for one side."

I'm waiting for Carter's final meltdown, which, hopefully, will be broadcast on C-SPAN

Exhibit A: His refusal to debate Professor Dershowitz because the academician "didn't understand the issues" behind the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. The problem is that Carter probably believed what he said as much as used it as an excuse.
