Sounds like an excellent idea.


U.S. officials say the Obama administration is planning to remove an Iranian militant group once allied with former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein from the U.S. terrorism list.

A court had given Secretary of State Hillary Clinton until October 1 to decide the fate of Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, also known as the People's Mujahedeen Organization of Iran or MEK. But unnamed sources said she has already decided to take the group off the terrorism list.

In the meantime how about they use those laws that criminalize material support for terrorism against the senators that have been supporting the MEK? Lest it become clear that the law is meant to create a two tier justice system...

If Iraq deports these people to Iran you know what the results will be as well as I.

The EU removed the MEK from their terror list after a court case.

Politicians promoting an organizations removal from a terror list - is it undermining the law or are they acting as elected officials.

National Council of Resistance of Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European Union in May 2004 implied that NCRI is part of the MEK (rather than vice versa), but excluded the NCRI itself from a list of organisations considered to be terrorist organizations. Instead, the EU listed the MEK "minus the National Council of Resistance of Iran".

On Monday January 26, 2009, EU Council of Ministers agreed to remove the MEK from the EU terror list. The group said it was the outcome of a “seven-year-long legal and political battle”.[14][15][16][17][18]

There is only one fascist party in the USA and it's never lost an election.

MeK terrorists:

American-Killing Terror Cult: US Delists Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK) | Global Research

In the 1970s, the group killed three U.S. officers and three civilian contractors in Iran. During the 1979-1980 hostage crisis, the group praised the decision to take America hostages and Elaine Sciolino reported that while group leaders publicly condemned the 9/11 attacks, within the group celebrations were widespread.


MEK has carried out decades of brutal terrorist attacks, assassinations, and espionage against the Iranian government and its people, as well as targeting Americans including the attempted kidnapping of US Ambassador Douglas MacArthur II, the attempted assassination of USAF Brigadier General Harold Price, the successful assassination of Lieutenant Colonel Louis Lee Hawkins, the double assassinations of Colonel Paul Shaffer and Lieutenant Colonel Jack Turner, and the successful ambush and killing of American Rockwell International employees William Cottrell, Donald Smith, and Robert Krongard.





Good idea to de-list known TERRORISTS? That's treason.
