Reader comment on item: Unleash the Iranian Opposition[, the Mujahedeen-e Khalq]
Submitted by David W. Lincoln (Canada), Jul 10, 2007 at 15:48
Listing MEK as a terror organization as a sop to soothe Iranian concerns. Frankly de-listing the group, which scares the Iranians like Vlad the Impaler scared the Turks - this is a step in the right direction. After all, wasn't the PLO on a list that no American was allowed to deal with? So, to correct a mistake from the past is the least that can be done.
