As if the word “terrorist” wasn’t meaningless enough already….
Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), which has conducted numerous attacks on Americans, including assassinations, was involved in the Iranian hostage crisis, worked with Saddam Hussein, and is currently working with Israel’s Mossad to assassinate Iranian scientists, etc., is being taken off the list of terrorist organizations… thanks to lobbying.
Oh, and the Bush administration had the MEK trained in Nevada.
National security? The MEK is great, guys. Don’t worry about them. Let’s violate fundamental civil liberties and spy on Muslim college students living in New York instead and people who buy falafels.
