Our ability to gather intell was destroyed by one moron and one moron only. He goes by the name of jimmy carter. A side note to this story is that people also (unnecessarily) lost their lives due to this decision. carter is an idiot that got a lot of people killed due to his stupidity.
I once heard a story that when he (carter) was briefed on the Iran raid the first question he asked was "Is anyone going to get hurt?"

I don't remember whether it was Beckwith or Haney, but one of those two books on the non-existent anti-terror unit with an airline name mentions that the author was impressed by Carter during the hostage rescue operation. I don't recall whether it was in being decisive about ordering it or in being cool to people after it failed.
I was very surprised to read anything positive about Carter from a member of the military.
