In bed with terrorists

We may not be in bed with terrorists, but it appears as though our friends, the Israelis, are.  NBC has a damning report on the links between the Mossad and the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK), which in 1997 was designated a terrorist group by our State Department. 

MEK killed American servicemen and contractors in the 1970s and supported the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran before breaking with the Iranian mullahs in 1980. The State Department report on MEK includes these points:

• “Bombs were the Mujahedin's weapon of choice, which they frequently employed against American targets.” 
•  "The National Liberation Army (MLA), the military wing of the Mujahedin, conducted raids into Iran during the latter years of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War." 
• The NLA's last major offensive reportedly was conducted against Iraqi Kurds in 1991, when it joined Saddam Hussein's brutal repression of the Kurdish rebellion. In addition to occasional acts of sabotage, the Mujahedin are responsible for violent attacks in Iran that victimize civilians."

The mastermind of the World Trade Center bombing worked with MEK to bomb a Shia mosque in Iran. And the list goes on.  One would have to conclude that the MEK are not nice people. Yet, our friend has no problem working with them.

What's that expression about the tail wagging the dog?
