> "Especially lucrative have been Carter's ties to Saudi Arabia.
Before

> Center and on more than one occasion contributed million-dollar
> donations. In 1993 alone, the king presented Carter with a gift of $7.6
> million. And the king was not the only Saudi royal to commit funds to
> Carter's cause. As of 2005, the king's high-living nephew, Prince
> Alwaleed Bin Talal, has donated at least $5 million to the Carter
> Center.
> Meanwhile the Saudi Fund for Development, the kingdom's leading loan
> organization, turns up repeatedly on the center's list of supporters.
> Carter has also found moneyed allies in the Bin Laden family, and in
> 2000 he secured a promise from ten of Osama bin Laden's brothers for
> a $1 million contribution to his center. To be sure, there is no
> evidence that the Bin Ladens maintain any contact with their terrorist
> relation. But applying Carter's own standard, his extensive contacts
> with the Saudi elite must make his views on the Middle East suspect.
> High praise for Carter's work - and not inconsiderable financial
> support - also comes from the United Arab Emirates. In 2001, Carter
> even traveled to the country to accept the Zayed International Prize
> for the Environment, named for Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, the
> late UAE potentate and former president-for-life. Having claimed his
> $500,000 purse, Carter enthused that the "award has special
> significance for me because it is named for my personal friend, Sheikh
> Zayed Bin Sultan al-Nahyan." Carter also hailed the UAE as an
> "almost completely open and free society" - a surreal depiction
> of a rigidly authoritarian country where the government handpicks a
> select group of citizens to vote and strictly controls the editorial
> content of the newspapers and where Islamic Shari'a courts judge
> "sodomy" punishable by death. (To appreciate the depth of
> Carter's cynicism, one need only compare his gushing encomia to the
> emirates with his likening of Israel, the most modern and democratic
> country in the entire Middle East, with the racist "apartheid"
of
> South Africa.) "
