The MEK were given an ultimatum.
Stop attacking and we won't kill you.
They are not being supported by the US. Unless, they think not killing them is support.
They have been neutralized.
Electronic Iraq -- found at electronicIraq.net -- is a supplementary news portal from the people who brought you the Electronic Intifada (founded 2001) and veteran antiwar campaigners Voices in the Wilderness (founded 1996).
Electronic Iraq was launched on 8 February 2003 to offer a humanitarian perspective during the then-looming conflict, as the U.S. government made clear its determination to go to war against Iraq.
It was the alternative news moonshot. Before, during, and after the US "Shock & Awe" bombing campaign, eIraq writers from Voices in the Wilderness' Iraq Peace Team reported on what they saw and heard via available Internet and a satellite modem connection. Visitors got a never before seen glimpse of war and its aftermath through the eyes of peace activists based at ground zero.
Post war, eIraq's work continues, documenting the US occupation and the rebuilding of Iraq, offering a range of reportage that includes News & Analysis; Opinion/Editorial; Iraq Diaries; International Law; Aid & Development; The Media; Art, Music & Culture; and Action & Activism.
Somehow I find it hard to believe that the MEK had "several thousand" tanks in Iraq and the other listed military hardware. I think this article is full of BS.
Hang'em all!
There is no good terrorists!
Moreover, this terror group is condemned by all Human Rights Watch Groups for abusing its own members.
And the groups is heavily hated among Iranian people.
MEK terrorists fought Iranian people along with Saddam in 1980s and they are also accused of helping the seizure of the US Embassy in 1979 in Tehran.
MEK/NCRI is a marxist-islamist group founded in late 1960s to fight the Shah's government.
The group is also accused of killing several American Military Servicemen back in 1970s.
Now you can figure this out!

You might be right but it doesn't change the fact that this group is hated by majority of true Iranians and they are listed on terror list of EU, Canada, and US.
So why should we cooperate with them!?
Bump
We are NOT cooperating with them.
We are simply NOT killing them.
I'd say giving them protection while they hold a conference is a bit more than "not killing them", wouldn't you?
First you have to believe the people who wrote and SHAPED this article. If you look over their site and their history you might not be so quick to endorse this article.
I simply can't care!
The truth is that US is cooperating with bunch of hated Terrorists.
It doesn't change the fact that MEK is a terror group. Does it?
I'm not prone to believe the editorializations of the blog this story appears in.
There is a BS factor to this article. I doubt there were several thousand tanks, too. But what they had was given to them by Saddam.
They have up to 2000 armored vehicles and 3500 armed terrorists in Camp Ashraf which is under protection of US Army!
The truth is this article was written and SHAPED by a group of flaming left wing activists.
Terrorists are terrorists!
Okay everyone. Before you get too deep into this article go to the originating website and look at the credentials of the organization who tailored this hit piece. This group has a long history of distorting the truth to support their anger over the war on terror and America defending itself.
And Racheal Corry was a lying witch who hated America...she would fit in very well with the people who wrote this BS.
Are you defending MKO?
