Blowback: In Aiding Iranian Terrorists, the U.S. Repeats a Dangerous Mistake

Even if Hersh is wrong, there is a long list of U.S. leaders and officials who would like to make him right. Members of the”MEK/MKO/PMOI lobby,”as it’s often called, support at least removing the group from the list of officially designated terrorist groups, and often some combination of arming or funding the fighters..This will probably also worsen popular Iranian perceptions of the U.S. and popular appetite for detente…

Report: U.S. trained MEK terror group

The New Yorker documents ample material support from the U.S. to MEK aka MKO/PMOI: A clear felony if true When the U.S. wants to fund, train, arm or otherwise align itself with a Terrorist group or state sponsor of Terror — as it often does — it at least usually has the tact to first remove them from its formal terrorist list (as the U.S. did when it wanted to support Saddam in 1982 and work with Libya in 2006), or it just keeps them off the list ..

Hersh: U.S. Trains and Facilitates MEK Terror Attacks in Iran

Let’s be very explicit: the U.S. is waging a war of terror against Iran. It is a war little different from the war Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda waged against us. The only difference is that we’re pissed about their alleged nuclear program and Al Qaeda was pissed at our alleged offenses against Islam. In perpetrating these acts of terror against Iran we are a terrorist nation. Plain and simple. Whether or not you believe that an Iranian bomb is a danger to humanity..

Hersh: US facilitates MEK terror in Iran

The communications training in Nevada involved more than teaching how to keep in contact during attacks—it also involved communication intercepts. The United States…at one point found a way to penetrate some major Iranian communications systems. At the time…the U.S. provided M.E.K. operatives with the ability to intercept telephone calls and text messages inside Iran—which M.E.K. operatives translated and shared with American signals intelligence experts.

War on the MKO or war of the MKO

But the juicy story here is that an indisputably designated terrorist group is sponsored by Israel and a heavy bunch of former US politicians.

Giuliani openly promotes terrorism

How these individuals who claim to be opposed to terrorism and so often point to the tragic events of September 11, 2001 as justification for the erosion of our freedoms can turn around and openly support a designated terrorist organization[MKO/MEK/PMOI] is beyond comprehension…It is unclear if he was paid and if so, how much he actually received, but Giuliani charges up to $100,000 for every speaking engagement so one must assume it didn’t come cheap.
