Hypocrits

What a shocker.

Our terrorists are freedom fighters (and a whole slew of "Curveballs").

While they are all assholes worthy of bombs and blessings from Charles Krauthammer!

An Iranian opposition group based in Iraq, despite being considered terrorists by the United States, continues to receive protection from the American military in the face of Iraqi pressure to leave the country.

It's a paradox possible only because the United States considers the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, or MEK, a source of valuable intelligence on Iran.

Iranian officials tied the MEK to an explosion in February at a girls school in Zahedan, Iran.

The group also is credited with helping expose Iran's secret nuclear program through spying on Tehran for decades. And the group is considered an ally to America because of its opposition to Tehran.

However, the U.S. State Department officially considers the MEK a terrorist organization -- meaning no American can deal with it; U.S. banks must freeze its assets; and any American giving support to its members is committing a crime.

The U.S. military, though, regularly escorts MEK supply runs between Baghdad and its base, Camp Ashraf.

Glenn Greenwald had a post about a horrifically sourced report on ABC about Iran being two years away from "the bomb". Can anybody not think, given their track record that this group is somehow involved and an Iraqi National Congress in the waiting? As I said, it smells of a brigade of "Curveballs".

I really do get sick of being governed by a group of people straight from the pages of a Tom Clancy parody.
