FORT WORTH — Former President Jimmy Carter put down his hammer at a Meadowbrook Habitat for Humanity project Tuesday for a wide-ranging interview that touched on subjects such as the Obama administration’s use of drones, women’s rights and faith.

“I really object to the killing of people, particularly Americans overseas who haven’t been brought to justice and put on trial,” he said. “We’ve killed four Americans overseas with American drones. To me that violates our Constitution and human rights.”

In May 2013, the Obama administration acknowledged that it had killed four American citizens in drone strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2009.

Carter said it was hard to figure out exactly what President Obama’s policy is in the Middle East.

2. Mr. Carter was warned by intelligence to evacuate the Iranian embassy, but saw no reason to after

admitting the Shah into the U.S. for treatment.

It is amazing to see how all these folks who either are out of office, or out of their job with the current administration are able to see things so clearly now. Leon Paneta, Hillary and others all have an opinion, no better or worse than the opinions expressed here

3. I remember JFK making the decision over the Cuban missiles over the advice of everyone else in the

room. Then when he took the hawks advice we ended up with the Bay of Pigs.

4. We are fortunate that didn't happen during the Cuban missile crisis or we might not be here
