The question of what to do with the residents of Camp Ashraf — which includes a number of children — is a tough one, but it should be separated out from whether they should be taken off the terrorism list. Barbara Slavin had a very good piece in March, looking at the delusion of some high-profile MEK/MKO/PMOI supporters that the U.S. could support them as a credible Iranian political opposition force…Kombiz Lavasany wrote via Twitter, “In Chalabi’s defense, not sure Iraqis knew or cared about him. Everyone in Iran just hates the MEK.”

The speakers wouldn’t disclose their speaking fees, but many of them charge between $25,000 and $40,000 per appearance…Condoleezza Rice wrote in a 2009 internal cable released by anti-secrecy group Wikileaks:”The most powerful myth the MeK has been able to lodge in the minds of most supporters is that they are the democratic alternative to the current regime..

Will Giuliani invite MEK “freedom fighters” to relocate in Manhattan?

The MEK issued a statement late last week that not only casts serious doubt on their claims to have renounced terrorism but demands that they be allowed to come to the U.S.The group cites a disarmament deal they negotiated with the U.S. as the basis for the demand ..The fact that the MEK is designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization would prevent them from legally coming to the U.S., but an assortment of prominent U.S. politicians, lobbyists, and consulting firms are working to reverse that terror designation…now that the MEK is threatening “resistance at any price” and demanding relocation to the U.S., the question is: will U.S. officials supporting MEK, some of whom have acknowledged receiving “substantial amount” of cash, invite these “freedom fighters” into their own backyards?..

Support for MKO, a classic example of US unsustainable policy in ME

… A classic example of this is when you look at the American and Israeli support of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq, which was killing Americans in Iran back in the 1970’s during the Pahlavi era. But it has certainly become convenient for the United States and Israel to have an alliance with this so-called Marxist terrorist organization as long as these people are doing their bidding in Iran ..It is also noteworthy that the Saudi Arabian regime has been helping to bankroll this Mujahedin-e-Khalq or MEK …

The group periodically conducts terrorist acts against the Islamic Republic. As a matter of fact, it is the USA and the EU that use the group for their political purposes to destabilize Iran. The West hopes that the group will become a tool to tame Iran. As for Mujaheddins[MKO/MEK/PMOI], they have been cooperating with the West actively for over 20 years already. They used to have their one and only strongman – Saddam Hussein, Iran’s sworn enemy. He could use them in his own interests whenever he wanted to.

When Democracy Turns into hypocrisy

For those US policy makers who make efforts to invest on MKO as a tool against Islamic Republic, the group seems to be a potential means to advance US policy regarding Iran.”To think of the MEK as some kind of policy tool to use against Tehran is both foolish and bizarre,”Paul Pillar writes. He reminds them that MKO has”virtually no support within Iran”. [3]But US warmongers seem to be very choosy about their allies..Indeed, whether or not MKO has left violence or poses any threat to the West, it is a harmful policy to harbor a destructive cult that always poses a potential threat to Iran-US relations. ..

..A combination of pecuniary interests and scant knowledge about the nature of the group[MKO/MEK] may explain some of the support for delisting. A destructively simplistic, zero-sum attitude regarding policy toward Iran explains some more of it. Representative Brad Sherman (D-CA), one of the members of Congress who favors removing the MEK[MKO/PMOI] from the list, says that the group should not be considered a terrorist organization because “they are enemies of enemies of the United States.” No, Congressman, even enemies of the United States have enemies that are terrorist groups..
