Last Thursday in Washington D.C., a prominent group of former government officials gathered for a panel on Iran. Among them were a former National Security Adviser, a former CENTCOM Commander, a former Democratic Senator, a former Democratic Presidential candidate, a former Republican Attorney General, a former Republican Homeland Security Secretary, a former CIA Director and a former FBI Director. Almost to a man -- and they were all men -- they expressed support for a group considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.

The panel, organized by a consulting firm called Executive Action, LLC, was called "Iran's Nuclear, Terrorist Threats and Rights Abuses: After Engagement and Sanctions, What?" and the group in question is the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization, also known as the MEK.

Getting the MEK off the United States' list of terrorist organizations has become a top priority for "members of Congress, former Bush administration officials, and Iran experts touting an overtly anti-regime policy," according to The Christian Science Monitor. Last month, TPM reported how former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani, former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, and former Attorney General Michael Mukasey flew to Paris to speak at an MEK event.

"Appeasement of dictators leads to war, destruction and the loss of human lives," Giuliani told the crowd there. "For your organization to be described as a terrorist organization is just really a disgrace."

1. What was that about "two" parties again?

I seem to have missed something...

2. Guiliani certainly would know about "leading to war, destruction and the

loss of human lives".

If Rudy wants to promote world peace, he should consider having his jaw wired shut.

3. Then he'd fart himself to death.
