Former US President Jimmy Carter is so convinced the U.S. is monitoring his movements … he won’t send emails when he communicates with foreign leaders.

Carter was angry about what he believes are gross abuses on the part of the NSA … so he said Sunday on “Meet the Press.”  It didn’t seem theoretical …he really believes he’s being watched.

Carter says he’s forced to use snail mail because it’s the only want to insure his privacy.

Let’s be honest … how many 89-year olds know how to email?

 

Former President Jimmy Carter says he corresponds with foreign leaders the old-fashioned way – through snail mail – because he suspects his communications are watched by intelligence agencies.

“I have felt that my own communications are probably monitored,” Carter said in an interview with Andrea Mitchell that was aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“And when I want to communicate with a foreign leader privately, I type or write the letter myself, put it in the Post Office and mail it, because I believe if I send an email, it will be monitored,” Carter said.
