MKO refuses to move its remaining members to Camp Liberty

In spite of the best efforts of UNAMI, the US and EU representatives, the Government of Iraq and other Iraqi NGOs, the Mojahedin Khalq organisation have reneged on its agreement under the MKO refuses to move its remaining members to Camp Liberty Memorandum of Understanding to allow the remaining residents of Camp Ashraf to transfer to Camp Liberty[Temporary Transit Location] on Wednesday.

The MEK called a halt to the move – which was already underway – on the pretext that Camp Liberty lacked the minimum of humanitarian needs. Earlier, Iraqi authorities had met all the MEK’s latest demands and allowed the MEK to transfer air conditioning units and refrigerators and other equipment.

UNAMI had agreed the Iraqi deadline of July 20 for the closure of Camp Ashraf, but have been unable to negotiate with the MEK to evacuate the camp. In spite of having many its unreasonable and ever increasing demands, the MEK has again blocked progress. This leaves no other option than for the international community to support the Government of Iraq in enforcing Iraqi law. The MEK will be solely responsible for the outcome.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Ros-Lehtinen defends MEK as State Dept anger grows

The State Department is growing increasing frustrated with the MEK and its American lobbyists, and now with two leading lawmakers who are injecting themselves into the cause of the Iranian dissident group.

Tensions between Foggy Bottom and supporters of the Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK), a State Department-designated foreign terrorist organization opposed to the Iranian regime, have been building for months. The plan to relocate 3,200 members of the group from its compound in Iraq to a former U.S. military base appear stalled as the group lobbies to be taken off the list of terrorist organizations.

A federal court has ordered the State Department to make a decision on delisting the MEK by October, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has indicated that the group’s willingness to complete the move to the former base, Camp Liberty[TTL], will be a key factor in the department’s decision. State Department officials, however, now believe the MEK is stalling.

"It is past time for the MEK to recognize that Ashraf is not going to remain an MEK base in Iraq," Daniel Benjamin, the State Department’s coordinator for counterterrorism, told reporters on a conference call earlier this month. "The Iraqi government is committed to closing it, and any plan to wait out the government in the hope that something will change is irresponsible and dangerous."

Administration officials believe the MEK is getting bad advice and unhelpful support from its team of American advocates, some of whom are paid handsomely to advise the MEK and lobby the administration on its behalf (though all insist they are promoting the MEK’s cause out of sincere conviction). The Treasury Department has opened an investigation into the funds paid to these activists, which often come from Iranian-American groups in the United States and are paid through a speakers’ bureau.

An administration official told The Cable that the efforts on behalf of the MEK of Americans like Rudy Giuliani, Tom Ridge, Ed Rendell, James Jones, Mitchell Reiss, and now Newt Gingrich represent "sheer irresponsibility and greed which puts people’s lives at risk,"

The Brunswick Group, the firm representing the advocates, declined to comment.

The MEK seems to believe it can keep control of Camp Ashraf, its longtime compound near the Iran-Iraq border, and Clinton will still be under pressure to delist the group, this official said.

"What bothers all of us working for a peaceful solution is that the MEK seems to believe all they have to do is hold firm and do whatever they want. They are being encouraged in this view by some of their American supporters," the official said. "If you are [MEK leader Maryam] Rajavi and are surrounded by all these people, you may think they can actually deliver and that is just terrible."

This week, the MEK got the support of two new powerful Americans, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) and Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA). The pair are circulating a letter this week to Clinton asking her to improve the conditions in Camp Liberty for the MEK.

"We respectfully request that the Department of State seek the Iraqi government’s agreement to and implementation of a number of humanitarian measures. Until these measures are implemented, further voluntary relocation of Camp Ashraf residents would only exacerbate the current dreadful living conditions in Camp Liberty," the lawmakers wrote in the draft letter, obtained by The Cable.

Specifically, the lawmakers are requesting that the MEK residents in Camp Liberty[TTL] be connected to the Iraqi main water system, be given more power generators, and be given new cars and trucks and other supplies. The administration official said that some of the requests are valid but the characterization of the conditions in Camp Liberty as "dreadful" is unfair.

"Really, are new cars a basic human right?" the official said.

Ambassador Dan Fried, the State Department official in charge of aiding the relocation of the MEK from Camp Ashraf, held a conference call with congressional staffers Tuesday, having just returned from Iraq. One staffer on the call said Fried was "furious" over congressional attempts to interfere in the transfer of MEK members to Camp Liberty. The Iraqi government has set a July 20 deadline for closing Camp Ashraf but the MEK are refusing to go, Fried told the staffers.

Fried said the Ros-Lehtinen letter was deeply unhelpful in that it further hardened the MEK’s attitude against compromise, according to one witness sympathetic to his argument.

"From my perspective, these congressional attempts to placate the MEK’s refusal to leave Ashraf is nothing short of irresponsible," this staffer said. "It’s pandering of the worst sort and completely undermines U.S. policy. It’s clear that Ros-Lehtinen and Sherman aren’t actually interested in resolving the standoff, but posturing for political purposes by carrying the MEK’s water."

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

In the wake of delisting MKO terrorist group from the US list

open letter of Mrs. Soltani to Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton ,the US Secretary of state

Be vigilant ! in the wake of delisting the pmoi from the US terrorist list , this cult will show its real face in violence and terrorism

The US State Department
Honorable Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton
With greetings and respect

I, Batul Soltani , the political activist and a critic and the former member of the pmoi leadership council. During 20 years of membership in pmoi , I am completely familiar and acquainted with all tricks , the mind control tactics and the violent and inhumane deeds in this organization .

I summarily inform you that the people’s mujahedin organization (MKO, PMOI, Rajavi’s cult, MEK) before the invasion of Iraq by the US led coalition had an “anti American content and essence” , in their narration they had an “anti Imperialist content” and their main slogan and motto was “Death to USA” and “ Death to Iranian Government”

In the catastrophic event of 9/11 , the pmoi leadership held a session . in that session all the participants were clapping their hands and enjoying themselves . the pmoi leader , Massoud Rajavi , analogized the USA to “a paper like tiger” and he said “ this is the fundamental Islam which create such an event , wait and see what a storm our revolutionary Islam will create and I can see a day clearly that we go after the demolishing of USA, after overthrowing the Iranian government “

During the invasion of Iraq by the US led coalition after the Kuwait occupation , the pmoi cooperated with Saddam ‘s army and even more professional than his army , they worked for Saddam Hussein. The pmoi even participated in suppression and repression of the freedom loving people of Iraq shoulder to shoulder with Saddam Hussein’s army .

In pmoi the anti Imperialism slogans were propagated , one of the slogans and revolutionary poems was “ Yankee get lost , the soil is smeared with your blood , this is the Mujahedin’s way and custom “
During the past years , the pmoi leadership is trying its best to delist itself from the US terrorist list to show that they have changed but it is completely clear that their content and essence is intact and has not been changed.

Mrs. Clinton , this organization is trying its best to delist itself from your terrorist list by its lobbies and by paying the US and European parliamentarians .

Even if you see the evacuation process of the Ashraf camp which is a captivity place for those captives , you find out that they take advantage of holding Ashraf camp as a hostage to delist themselves forcibly from the terrorist list. So far Ashraf camp has not been completely evacuated yet despite the previous deadlines.

Do not be deceived and deluded by the pmoi propaganda and claims because they have utilized their strength and money to deceive USA and global society by the current status of the Iranian government and Iran itself. The pmoi is trying its best to delist itself from the US terrorist list by all means but after delisting itself from the terrorist list , they will take off their fake mask and they will show their real face in violence and terrorism which was hidden behind the mask on purpose.

This organization inside itself has prison and the dissidents and the members who have any dissent with the organization are incarcerated and imprisoned there and they stay under severe mental pressure in those prisons and if the leadership of this organization distinguish that they should be eliminated , they will be eliminated and I am ready to testify in any court of law as an eyewitness about the allegations which I mentioned.

This organization can not tolerate the separated members’ criticism and complaints in Paris ,even now that the pmoi is still in the terrorist list . Recently the pmoi hoodlums and hooligans attacked to the peaceful and lawful rally and demonstration in Paris with bludgeons and sticks , and they attacked and insulted the former pmoi members and the critics who were participating in that rally ,when this organization is still in the terrorist list. The organization which either in Iraq or in the pmoi headquarter in Paris issue the death decree for its own members when they are still in the terrorist list , after being delisted from the US terrorist list they will carry out their violent and terrorist deeds by more freedom .

Mrs. Hillary Clinton, this organization has not renounced the violence and terrorism and even they celebrate and commemorate the anniversary of their terrorist missions , so they are not qualified and eligible to be delisted from the US terrorist list.

This organization forces its own members to set themselves on fire in Paris and all the members in this organization should be ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the leadership , and they should be obedient completely for their leader. In this organization they silence any disobedience and dissent.

This organization can not talk about the political freedoms or the rights of its fellow countrymen despite of its deceptive slogans.

This organization by paying money to the people from other countries such as Turkey, Afghanistan ,……….etc Or gathering the refuge seekers from the refuge camps , pretends that these people are all Iranians and in this way the organization wants to show that they are popular and have supporters to deceive and delude the public thoughts and the politicians.

The brainwashing bases of this cult in Iraq(Ashraf and Liberty) and in France (Maryam Rajavi’s headquarter in Paris) are continuing their brainwashing and indoctrinations on the people who are trapped there and they use and take advantage of those people in contraband and……..etc.

This organization has lots of money which gained those money from Saddam Hussein consequently they live in Europe comfortably and the only confinement and limitation they have is the US terrorist list and their designation as a terrorist organization . After being delisted from the US terrorist list , they will begin their money laundering and their financial programs again and they will gain their strength back , the organization which threatens its own members to death .

They should remain in the US terrorist list . this is the request of all victims of this organization, this is the request of all those families who have relatives and loved ones in that organization , this is the request of all those stranded people inside that organization who have been separated from the civilized world and the progress and technology for many years on purpose to be used someday like a tool for the sake of the organization and its leaders.

It is very clear that the terrorist movement of Mujahedin with the leadership of Massoud Rajavi has not changed a bit and all their struggle to come out from the US terrorist list is to begin their terrorist and destructive deeds as well as their violent policies.

Respectfully ,
Batul Soltani

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Mojahedin Khalq have not stopped their terror campaign

Open letter to Donald E. Graham

Open letter of the Iran Pen Club to the honorable and distinguished Chief Executive officer and Chairman of the Washington Post Company Mr. Donald E. Graham Mojahedin Khalq have not stopped their terror campaign

According to the confession of the People’s Mujahedin Organization, in their record they have had thousands of terrorist operations.

Fortunately, we got informed that the Washington Post newspaper in an enlightened article written by Mrs. Julie Jowwarrick Tate on 6 of July 2012, a small portion of the reality and the content of people’s mujahedin organization has been reflected and revealed and in a very suitable and understandable way has dissected this stream which it shows your goodwill in the valid and accurate informing of the US public opinion .

We would like to appreciate you and your colleague because of the article written in your newspaper and also we would like to inform you that unfortunately the real content and essence of the people’s mujahedin organization with 40 years of terroristic record is still unknown for the US public opinion even though your experts and professionals in terroristic and cultic affaires know that the colonel Hawkins and other US military and non military citizens were assassinated and killed by the people’s mujahedin organization , but it seems that it is not enough because in the people’s mujahedin organization’ record, there has been thousands of terrorist operations registered according to their own confession.

The honorable author of the Washington Post has mentioned in their article that “this cult has not carried out and launched any terrorist operation since 2001…….” we would like to emphasize that if they have not carried out any terrorist operation since 2001 is not because they are remorseful of the violence and violent deeds for indoctrination of their political views, it is because the presence of USA on Iraq soil and the forcible disarmament of this stream.

Surly , you accept this fact that in a realistic recognition , we should distinguish between the Irish liberation army, which deliberately and by criticizing its past dismantled and disarmed itself and by public declaration began its political activities, with the people’s mujahedin organization which was disarmed forcibly consequently they could not continue their terrorist missions because of the lack of the arms and ammunition, furthermore the people’s mujahedin organization has not declared its renunciation of the arm struggle for gaining the political power by showing any evidence and document and they have not denounced it yet. A number of the former members of people’s mujahedin organization have confessed that Massoud Rajavi and his military commanders are continuing the programming , renovating , editing and codification of the strategy of the arm struggle in theory and practice in their internal sessions and for this reason there is still the symbol of the arm on the pmoi emblem as the symbol of the arm struggle and violence.

This religious cult is trying its best to delist itself by all means from the US state department’s terrorist list by deceiving the US public opinion and US political operatives and decision makers but we should pay more attention to the potential danger of this organization and its leader , Massoud Rajavi, and we should warn the global society in advance about the danger of this organization born in Middle East , unpopular and despised among Iranian communities either in or out of Iran with the obsessions of gaining power in any way possible.

There is no doubt that the authors and the reporters and article writers in the credible newspaper like Washington Post which by endeavor in recognition of the phenomena and the dangers and the problems of the society , are the vigilant and wakeful eyes of the US society to warn their own people in advance. We as the great portion of the separated and freed members of this dangerous religious cult who are residing in Europe and Germany. in the form of an association, we continue our enlightened activities and we would like to share our experiences as well as our recognition of this dangerous religious cult which is gained during 20 years of living and working in this cult , with you in face to face meetings , by mail , or by telephone to promote and increase your knowledge and recognition of this cult . in this regard we attach some documents and books in this letter to richen and deepen your recognition of such dangerous religious cult.

Again, we appreciate you and your company and we wish you more success in your duties.

UN urges peaceful solution to Camp Ashraf standoff

UNITED NATIONS — Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on the Iraqi government and an

UN chief urges Iraq and Iranian opposition group to work together to finish group’s relocation

Iranian opposition group that was given refuge in the country during Saddam Hussein’s rule on Monday to work together to peacefully complete the group’s relocation without further delay.

Nearly 2,000 members of The People’s Mujahedeen Organization of Iran have moved from Camp Ashraf in northwestern Iraq to Camp Hurriya on the deserted former U.S. military base outside Baghdad known as Camp Liberty. But about 1,300 have refused to go until the Iraqi government meets their humanitarian demands, including the transfer of air conditioners, power generators, trucks and other items to their new location.

They had been living in exile at Camp Ashraf in Iraq since Saddam welcomed them three decades ago in a common fight against Iran. But they are now being pressured to leave by the new Iraqi government, whose Shiite officials want to build stronger ties with Iran.

The Iraqi government has set a July 20 deadline for the group, also known by its Farsi name, Mujahedeen-e-Khalq or MEK, to vacate Ashraf entirely.

Anglican leaders in Ireland and Britain wrote a letter to the secretary-general urging the U.N. and the U.S. to press the Iraqi government to improve humanitarian conditions so the Ashraf residents can relocate.

In a report to the U.N. Security Council circulated Monday, Ban called on the Iraqi government and residents of both camps “to continue to work together in a constructive and flexible manner in order to complete the relocation process without further delay.”

He stressed the importance of residents of both camps cooperating with Iraqi authorities and stressed the U.N.’s commitment to a peaceful solution.

The Anglican leaders expressed alarm about the possible use of force against the people of Camp Ashraf and drew attention to the shortage of water, food, medicine and medical treatment at Camp Hurriya. They said further relocations were halted becuse Iraq reneged on earlier agreements.

“We believe that the international community, the United Nations and the people of the United States of America are at one in desiring morally acceptable humanitarian standards for all people,” the leaders said. “We believe that the residents have shown clear commitment to a peaceful resolution of the crisis and are prepared fully to relocate to Camp Liberty as soon as minimum humanitarian provisions are put in place.”

The letter was signed by Archbishop of Armagh A.E.T. Harper, the Primate of All Ireland, and supported by the archbishop of Wales, 18 bishops and three ministers.

The People’s Mujahedeen carried out a series of bombings and assassinations against Iran’s clerical regime in the 1980s and fought alongside Saddam’s forces in the Iran-Iraq war but it says it renounced violence in 2001. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is under court order to decide by October whether to remove the group from the U.S. terrorism list.

The group says the Iraqi government has used its terrorist status to justify mistreatment of the residents — an Iraqi army raid last year left 34 exiles dead — and has made it difficult to relocate the residents to other countries.

Associated Press Writer Shawn Pogatchnik in Belfast, Northern Ireland, contributed to this report.

MEK Camp Ashraf

6th convoy of MKO prepared to be moved to Liberty

An informed source in the Committee for the Evacuation of Ashraf said that the preparation for the sixth stage of the expulsion of MKO elements was started on Sunday.

According to the Habilian Foundation website, the source told the Ashraf News that 28 trucks loaded their belongings at Camp Ashraf and transferred them to Liberty.

According to the report, the items included refrigerators, air conditioners, and so on.

To date, roughly two-thirds of the residents of Camp Ashraf have been relocated to Camp Liberty. The last batch of MKO members were moved on 5 May. From then on, MKO leaders did not let any other members to be relocated inside Iraq under pretext that “minimum requirements have not been met by the Iraqi government.”

Earlier this month, Coordinator for Counterterrorism at the U.S. Department of State Daniel Benjamin said that the reason behind MKO’s insubordination is that they “have misinterpreted the June 1 order by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

“MEK leaders appear to believe that the Secretary has no choice now but to delist them.”

He further added that this conclusion is “quite plainly wrong.” “In short, the court did not order the Secretary of State to revoke the MEK designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.”

Daniel Benjamin then reiterated that Mujahedin-e Khalq “should act quickly and complete the relocation and close Camp Ashraf.”

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

US State Department lobbies for terrorist group?

Since May of this year, the Obama administration has been pushing to have a terrorist organization removed from the terrorist watch list.

The Mujahadeen- e-Khalq of Iran is allegedly responsible for assassinating US citizens and even worked together with Saddam Hussein.

The group has been on the watch list for approximately 15 years, so why is there this push to remove the MEK as terrorists?

Jamal Abdi, policy director at The National Iranian American Council, takes a closer look at the possible motives.

MEK Camp Ashraf

New deaths in Camp Ashraf – Tragic life of MEK members

According to the MEK’s official website another member of the organization died in Camp Ashraf. The man’s name was announced as Mohammad Taataii. This is the third MEK person who has New deaths in Camp Ashraf - Tragic life of MEK members died during the past two weeks in Camp Ashraf.

Last week another MEK high ranking woman, Batoul Rajaii, lost her life in a hospital in Baghdad due to breathing problems.

In recent years a disproportionate number of MEK members have suffered from severe health problems including rare cancers and heart attacks.

The standard of life in Camp Ashraf is not comparable with any other society or group, as the MEK has isolated its members and forbids them any contact with the outside world.

MEK members also suffer from psychological and emotional problems because from the late 80s, the cult leader Massoud Rajavi ordered mass divorce for couples and since then family life in the Mojahedin’s notorious Ashraf garrison has been denied.

According to Mrs Maryam Sanjabi, a former high ranking member of the group, the women commanders received special orders from the Rajavis to force members into hard work and to keep them so busy that they have no time to think about any issue. This trick, to keep the members so busy so they would collapse every night without any opportunity to think, seems to have had some dangerous side effects and has been influential in the deaths of many MEK members despite their age.

A few months earlier another MEK member Bardia Mostoufi lost his life upon arrival at Camp Liberty. The MEK officially announced that his death came as the result of being exhausted by the process of moving out of Ashraf. The MEK writers neglected to mention the fact that a background of years of forced labor, ordered by the cult leaders Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, truly explains the tragic deaths of such victims.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

MEK Spokesmen and Their Cozy Home at The Huffington Post

Earlier this week, Glenn Greenwald reported that, on Tuesday,

The Huffington Post published a post by Hossein Abedini, who was identified in the byline as a “Member of Parliament in exile of Iranian Resistance.” His extended HuffPost bio says that he “belongs to the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran” (NCRI). The NCRI is the political arm of the Mujahideen-e Khalq, (MeK), the Iranian dissident group (and longtime Saddam ally) that has been formally designated by the U.S. State Department since 1997 as a Terrorist organization, yet has been paying large sums of money to a bipartisan cast of former U.S. officials to advocate on its behalf (the in-hiding President of the NCRI, Massoud Rajavi, is, along with his wife Maryam Rajavi, MeK’s leader). Abedini, the HuffPost poster, has been identified as a MeK spokesman in news reports, and has identified himself the same way when, for instance, writing letters to NBC News objecting to negative reports about the group.
After noted journalists Hooman Majd, Robert Mackey, Greenwald himself, and others "noted the oddity that HuffPost was publishing pieces from a designated Terrorist group, HuffPost deleted the piece." A HuffPo spokesperson also told Greenwald that Abedini’s post "was published by mistake," adding, "By policy, we don’t publish blog posts by people affiliated with designated terrorist organizations. The blog editor who published it was unaware that NCRI is MEK’s political arm. When the mistake was discovered the post was removed."

Nevertheless, all of Abedini’s previous articles remain archived on HuffPo. Furthermore, Greenwald points out that "The Huffington Post has also repeatedly published Ali Safavi, who is also identified as ‘a member of Iran’s Parliament in Exile, National Council of Resistance of Iran’" and "use[s] his HuffPost platform to propagate standard MeK propaganda." All of Safavi’s posts remain accessible.

But that’s not all.

There’s yet another MeK/NCRI spokesman and propagandist who also regularly posts articles on HuffPo: Alireza Jafarzadeh. All of his posts remain live on HuffPo, where he is touted (in a bio written by himself) as a foreign affairs analyst who has appeared all over Western media, speaking on behalf of the terrorist group. Fox News has long featured him as a contributing commentator and he currently runs his own "consulting" firm in Washington D.C. called "Strategic Policy Consulting" which is pretty much just a phony company that manages his own media appearances and lobbying to Congress. One look at his Twitter feed removes all doubt as to Jafarzadeh’s affiliation (at the highest level) with the MeK.

In a tweet from June 2, 2012, Jafarzadeh linked to a New York Times article about potential MeK delisting and added the hastag #WhatIDreamAbout.

New York Times: Court Presses U.S. on a Terror Listing of Iranian opposition group nyti.ms/LmKMvM #iran #WhatIDreamAbout
— Alireza Jafarzadeh (@A_Jafarzadeh) June 2, 2012

Many of his online bios ignore his clear connection to the MeK; however, his bio on the "Strategic Policy" site and HuffPo itself contain a version of the following: "Until August 2003, Jafarzadeh acted for a dozen years as the chief congressional liaison and media spokesperson for the US representative office of Iran’s parliament in exile, the National Council of Resistance of Iran."

When the D.C. office of NCRI was shut down in 2003 by the State Department, Jafarzadeh and others like him created a network of front organizations to continue spreading the MeK message without explicitly using the name. According to a 2004 FBI report, Alireza Jafarzadeh was said "to be running the MEK cell in the Washington D.C. area" along with another MeK shill Soona Samsami. No one would honestly believe that Jafarzadeh’s role as MeK spokesman is something of the past.

At a Capitol Hill hearing last July, Jafarzadeh, along with well-known MeK spokesman Ali Safavi, was seen counseling three of the panel’s witnesses – Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Representative Bob Filner (D-CA), and former Bush Administration Attorney General Michael Mukasey – in the halls of Congress right before the hearing. This would appear to demonstrate even more evidence of direct coordination between current and former U.S. officials and representatives of a designated terrorist group – in the halls of our own government no less. Shockingly, Capitol Hill police made no arrests.

But hey, at least it’s not like these designated terrorists throw parties, attended by people like House Foreign Affairs Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) and former Homeland Security secretary and Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge, in Congress itself. Oh wait, never mind.

It should also be noted that neocon hawk Danielle Pletka of AEI is even disgusted by the high-priced advocacy on behalf of the MeK by U.S. political players. Earlier this month, she referenced the Foreign Agents Registration Act in a post excoriating paid MeK shills like Howard Dean, Mike Mukasey and Jim Jones, writing,

This litany of whoring (is there any other word?) for foreign terrorists is appalling. And don’t soothe yourself with the notion that the MEK aren’t really terrorists or are about to be delisted by the State Department. Delisting is ridiculous, but also irrelevant. Foreign principals are foreign principals, and people who do their bidding are foreign agents. FARA is a criminal statute; let’s see what Justice does about enforcing it. For shame on these lobbyists for terrorists, each and every one.

And that’s coming from a pal and defender of fake dissident leader/regime change hero Ahmad Chalabi. Yikes.
