Whatever Jimmy Carter’s good intentions, he has proven himself to be one of the most naive government officials in world history. Notwithstanding his failures in Iran and with the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, Carter recently gave Fidel Castro – Hugo Chavez’s benefactor - a clean bill of health in not having bioweapons laboratories on his island. This support was offered to Castro in contravention of intelligence reports, issued by U.S. government officials, that Castro has such terrorist labs.

Chavez, like Castro, is not only an avowed Communist who has terrorized his own people, they both have assisted and worked with Middle Eastern terrorists. In a book co-authored by Klayman when he was Chairman of Judicial Watch, entitled Fatal Neglect: The U.S. Government’s Continuing Failure to Protect American citizens from Terrorists, a chapter deals with "Castro: The Forgotten Terrorist." While at Judicial Watch, Klayman filed suit against both Castro and Chavez on behalf of victims of their terrorist acts.

"Castro and Chavez have not only fomented a new rise in Communism in Central and South American, but have worked together as terrorists against the interests of the American people. And, the Venezuelan people have been severely harmed. They need to be freed from bondage.

"It is incumbent on the United States to insure that a fraud has not been committed in the recall election. To rely on Jimmy Carter’s certification, is to rely on the opinion of a fool. Worse, Carter has just given legitimacy to a ruler, Hugo Chavez, who is a miniature Stalin. If nothing is done, it is likely that Chavez will not only consolidate his hold on power now, but never leave office–Castro style." —Larry Klayman, candidate for the US Senate.
