Recall that a number of high politicos in this country, including Rudy Giuliani and Howard Dean have been for some time now accepting payments from the US-officially-designated Iranian terrorist group the MEK in return for making appearances on behalf of the MEK in an attempt to get them off the terrorist list. Of course, at this time, they are still on it, and therefore, these politicos are actually offering material aid to terrorists (not to mention receiving it), which would get you or me an orange jumpsuit and leg irons. The group is apparently extremely well-funded, but the source of that money hasn't been publicized.
Well….I’m thinking it.All of these mysteries received substantial clarity from an NBC News report by Richard Engel and Robert Windrem yesterday. Citing two anonymous “senior U.S. officials,” that report makes two amazing claims: (1) that it was MEK which perpetrated the string of assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists and (2) the Terrorist group “is financed, trained and armed by Israel’s secret service.”
[...]
If these senior U.S. officials are telling the truth, there are a number of vital questions and conclusions raised by this. First, it would mean that the assurances by MEK’s paid American shills such as Howard Dean that “they are unarmed” are totally false: whoever murdered these scientists is obviously well-armed. Second, this should completely gut the effort to remove MEK from the list of designated Terrorist groups.
[...]
Of course, as I documented in my last book, those who are politically and financially well-connected are free to commit even the most egregious crimes; for that reason, the very idea of prosecuting Giuliani, Rendell, Ridge, Townsend, Dean and friends for their paid labor on behalf of a Terrorist group is unthinkable.
