These guys are going after a state sponsor of terrorism? And we have them on the same list as Hezbollah and al-Qaeda?

Gee, I can hardly understand why...

Worldwide campaign against the Iranian Government stresses propaganda and occasionally uses terrorist violence. During the 1970s the MEK staged terrorist attacks inside Iran and killed several US military personnel and civilians working on defense projects in Tehran. Supported the takeover in 1979 of the US Embassy in Tehran.

In the 1970s, they did. In the 1970s and 1980s, Muammar Qaddafi was providing terrorists safe haven, money, and support for attacks, inclduing the bombing of a Belrin disco intended to kill Americans.

They have apparently shifted course in the 1990s - and they could be useful if we wanted to launch some attacks on Iran with "plausible deniability" in the near future. If Qaddafi is redeemable, then this group arguably is as well.
