Leading conservatives call for Obama to back terrorist group

A group of prominent Republicans may have actually committed a crime last month when they traveled to Paris to speak to an Iranian opposition group that the US has deemed to be terrorists.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, former national security adviser Fran Townsend and former Attorney General Michael Mukasey all attended a forum organized by supporters of Mujaheddin-e Khalq (MEK).

The MEK is a communist group that helped Saddam Hussein carry out attacks against Iraq's Shiite population in the 1990s. The group attacked Americans in Iran in the 1980s and helped with the 1979 takeover of the US embassy in Tehran.

The US designated the MEK a foreign terrorist organization in January 2009.

"Material support meant to 'promote peaceable, lawful conduct' can further terrorism by foreign groups in multiple ways," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts. "Such support frees up other resources within the organization that may be put to violent ends. It also importantly helps lend legitimacy to foreign terrorist groups-legitimacy that makes it easier for those groups to persist, to recruit members, and to raise funds-all of which facilitate more terrorist attacks."

1. Rudy sure has been busy.... Last week when I read the UK was

going to have terrorist profiling..... I was not surprised.... And this seems to dovetail into their mission:"Material support meant to 'promote peaceable, lawful conduct' can further terrorism by foreign groups in multiple ways," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts. "Such support frees up other resources within the organization that may be put to violent ends. It also importantly helps lend legitimacy to foreign terrorist groups-legitimacy that makes it easier for those groups to persist, to recruit members, and to raise funds-all of which facilitate more terrorist attacks."


It sure is a Small World After All......
