Among the foreign countries and overseas organizations that hire people to advocate for them in Washington, D.C., one doesn’t expect to find a group that’s listed on the U.S. government’s roster of foreign terrorists. But the Mujahedin e-Khalq — a cult-like Iranian group whose killing of U.S. officials landed it on the terrorist list in 1997 — has been paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to a high-profile…
For sure, Mr. Bernstein is not a naïve journalist. Then, he is either on the side of terrorists or has reached a new definition for “truth” and “human rights”. He should be reminded of the group’s merciless killings without sparing, the terrorists who in their proclaimed violent struggle killed the scores of hundreds and who for the blood of its leaders let there be floods of blood of the bourgeoisie…
McColm added that”[t]he financial arrangements for speakers were handled by the Iranian-American Community.

I asked the most important one: given the definition laid out in Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project, was he at all concerned that his advocacy on behalf of the Iranian dissident group the MEK aka MKO/PMOI could be defined as material support for terrorism under the PATRIOT Act?..
why the mainstream media give cold shoulder to the remarks of an Iraqi official when he says “we found military equipment in the group’s stuff.”You can see the statement of a terrorist group published in many news agencies, but you will not see the remarks of Diyala province police commander when he says that a number of body armors, combat boots and night vision cameras have been discovered ..
