WASHINGTON – Not even former President Jimmy Carter feels safe from the electronic snooping of US spy agencies.

Carter said that he resorts to old-fashion snail mail to try to thwart the prying eyes of the National Security Agency, whose massive data-collection program was exposed by spy-secrets leaker Edward Snowden.

“I have felt that my own communications were probably monitored,” Carter, said in an interview aired on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“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,” said Carter, 89.

He said that he believed US intelligence agencies have “abused” their power to spy on Americans.

Carter also said that President Obama has not sought his advice, which he characterized as “unfortunate.”

“President Obama doesn’t but previous presidents have called on me and the Carter Center to take action,” he said.

Carter said that it was difficult for him to explain it “with complete candor.”

Obama’s fiercest critics have compared him unflatteringly to Carter. The two have some things in common, including both having won the Nobel Peace Prize.
