Interesting statement from Dr. Pipes

Dr. Pipes,

I remember that some days back you supported the Mujahidin-e-khlaq(MEK), a group also an avid supporter of Saddam Hussain. This group , designated as "terrorist" by the state department ,actively took part in the Iran - Iraq war , in favour of Saddam. This same MEK group was responsible for attacks against American interests in Iran in the early 1970s.

So why are you showing suspicion against the Palestinian refugees in Iraq , some of whom might have supported Saddam in the past ? Kindly answer.
