The MEK is attractive because it offers to provide a neat solution to the problem of a belligerent Iran.At a recent Congressional hearing on Capitol Hill Democratic Congressman Bob Filner was told by an expert witness that the MEK had a”discursive ideology with violent elements”. Filner replied,”So what, so what!”

Mr. Dean’s speech stunned me. But then came Rudolph W. Giuliani saying virtually the same thing. At a conference in Paris last December, an emotional Mr. Giuliani told Ms. Rajavi,[MKO/MEK/PMOI so called leader]”These are the most important yearnings of the human soul that you support, and for your organization to be described as a terrorist organization is just simply a disgrace.”I thought I was watching The Onion News Network. Did Mr. Giuliani know whom he was talking about? Evidently not.

Some of them seem to think that it is all right to be paid to speak on behalf of the MEK because they genuinely support the group, as it that made everything all right.
