Since 1997, the MEK has been through many ups and downs and now, on the eve of its 50th anniversary, has mobilized all its efforts to be removed from the United State’s list of terrorist organizations. The MEK/MKO/PMOI says it renounced violence in 2001, after claiming responsibility for 350 attacks in 2000 and 2001, according to a RAND Corporation tabulation. However, a 2004 FBI report found that the group was “currently actively involved in planning and executing acts of terrorism.”

The material-support law is the statute prosecutors most use in suspected terrorism cases, including not just in our federal courts but also in military commissions.

However, until the end of 2008, residents wore military-style uniforms and flew pre-revolution Iranian flags..

Those who have sold their advocacy for big bucks deserve shame; those who have done so for a meal or two maybe deserve our pity.
