Terrorists’ convention

Mujahedeen e-Khalq � They�re Zionists' newfound friends, helping to provide "intelligence" on Islamic Iran. What's odd about this is that 1) they were allied with Saddam and the Baath until he fell, 2) they've murdered Americans in the past, 3) they're on the State Department's official list of terrorist organizations, 4) they're a cultlike organization - even to the point of determining who members can marry, and setting themselves on fire, and 5) they're of the extreme left politically, having their origins as a pro-Soviet anti-Shah group in the 1960s-70s. Nevertheless, the folks in Doug Feith's shop at the Pentagon made sure that the US military allowed them to remain as a cohesive group on their base in Iraq. Since then, a chorus of neoconservative think-tank types have been suggesting that they could be useful in gathering "intelligence" to support the next phase of their war -- Iran. It looks like they may have gotten Bush's ear, and they seem to have the support of John Bolton (not surprising!). Now, Raymond Tanter, is trying to sell the idea of taking them off the terrorist list, and apparently getting a hearing from some quarters on Capitol Hill. AIPAC has avoided the issue, but clearly anything which helps the case for military action against Iran is fine with them.

Now this �terrorist organization� is being allowed to hold a convention in the Daughters of the American Revolution Hall, just blocks from the White House? Check out their website. At first glance, it seems quite reasonable - quotes from George Washington and Martin Luther King Jr., until you notice the sponsor's name the the bottom -- Maryam Rajavi, leader of the cultlike terrorist organization.
