'Ware the Ides of March

I'm generally a a peaceful person, but it's hard have sympathy for the mastermind of the murder of several thousand people. But when I heard about this, I started thinking torture was a pretty good idea:

[Khalid Sheik] Mohammed also said he plotted to assassinate several former presidents, including Jimmy Carter, a scheme not previously revealed.

Wait, Jimmy Carter Jimmy Carter? Is there some guy other than the champion of human rights, peanut farmer, and writer of bad poetry¹? I've never been so naive as to wonder why the terrorists don't like us, but Jimmy Carter?! For reals? That's like hating Wilbur the pig or homemade oatmeal raisin cookies- you can fight it if you want, but you're really not doing yourself any favors denying yourself all that wholesome, peace-y, peanutty goodness.

1. How much fun would a poetry slam between Jewel and Jimmy Carter be? None. Poetry slams are stupid.
