New scumbag front group

[xpat]

A new front group that you should all be aware of and no doubt will be hearing a lot from in the run up to the war in Iran is the SMCCDI. These guys are in bed with all the neocons and the Swift Boat liars. Just a heads up.

2. I wonder how many "students" belong to that organization

or Iranians for that matter.

Not a whole lot of names at that site, even under "Who we are."

I did see Michael Ledeen's name, author of the famous quote about throwing countries against walls.

4. Where did it say that?

About being affiliated with neocons and SBVT? All I saw was this in their mission statement:
We welcome any Iranian who believes in nonviolent resistance, secularism, peace, democracy and free markets to join our group.

Doesn't sound very neocon to me... I didn't look at the site for very long though.

On Edit:
Woops, missed the part where they talk about the "massive win by Bush" and how it sends a message that the US will fight religious fantatics.
What a crock of shit.
