Jimmy Carter slaps Amnesty International for backing 'slave masters' in sex trade
Americas most recognizable human rights warrior, former President Jimmy Carter, is condemning a proposed call by Amnesty International to end prosecution of the sex trade, a move that lets pimps, brothels and those buying sex off the hook for trafficking women.
In a taped interview for Women's Media Center Live with Robin Morgan, Carter said he would make it a mission of his to get the international human rights group to change course.

The Democrat's Center for Mobilizing Faith for Women Initiative has taken a position on the issue that is line with Morgan's and pro-women groups. It backs the so-called Nordic model, which criminalizes pimps and penalizes customers, but offers the women support programs with no penalties.
Carter, knowledgeable about what Sweden is doing in promoting the Nordic model, told Morgan that the U.S. should adopt the model. Because in the United States there are 50 girls who are arrested for every one brothel owner or pimp or male customer, he said.
