I've seen a couple threads here quibbling over what's up with the headlines at Raw Story and why did they change it. Bottom line is that whatever you want to title it, this story is a devastating expose that needs to be read. Here's the snip that blew my mind:



Although the specifics of what the MEK is being used for remain unclear, a UN official close to the Security Council explained that the newly renamed MEK soldiers are being run instead of military advance teams, committing acts of violence in hopes of staging an insurgency of the Iranian Sunni population.

“We are already at war,” the UN official told RAW STORY.

Asked how long the MEK agents have been active in the region under the guidance of the US military civilian leadership, the UN official explained that the clandestine war had been going on for roughly a year and included unmanned drones run jointly by several agencies.

In a stunning repeat of pre-war Iraq activities, the Bush administration continues to publicly call for action and pursue diplomatic solutions to allegations that Iran is bomb-ready. Behind the scenes, however, the administration is already well underway and engaged in ground operations in Iran.

I'm not interested in debating the reliability of Larisa Alexandrovna. As far as I'm concerned, she's one of the best investigative reporters around, and her knowledge and expertise in matters related to Iran machinations of the * regime is impeccable. What I am interested in debating is how we can stop the war in Iran from becoming a shock and awe blitzkrieg that could ignite World War III. Let's quit wasting time & focus on what needs to be done!
