JERUSALEM - Israel’s secret service has declined to assist U.S. agents guarding former U.S. President Jimmy Carter during a visit in which Israeli leaders have shunned him, U.S. sources told Reuters on Monday. ...
American sources close to the matter said the Shin Bet security service, which helps protect visiting dignitaries and is overseen by Olmert’s office, declined to meet the head of Carter’s Secret Service security detail or provide his team with assistance as is customary during such visits.
“They’re not getting support from local security,†an American source said.
Another source described the snub as an “unprecedented†breach between the Israeli Shin Bet and the U.S. Secret Service, which protects all current and former U.S. presidents, as well as Israeli leaders when they visit the United States.

I think since Carter is meeting with kniown terrorists with American blood on their hands who actively support al Qaeda the USSS should withdraw protection as well...but that's just me.

Good for them....at least Israel has "some" integrity.....I'm surprised that Omert isn't kissing Jimmah's backside, after all they are ideological kinfolks...

I completely agree. If the US State Department says no to this, then why are we sending Secret Service agents in to possibly be killed for something that the Government does not sanction?
