WASHINGTON -- US officials have asked the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to help resettle members of an Iranian rebel group living in exile in Iraq, even though the United States classifies the group as a terrorist organization.

I think that France should take them in.

I can just hear it now. "bush administration gives terrorists asylum" Not going to happen.

It's even sillier.

I heard one Bush Hater say that the US is now a state sponsor of terrorism because we are keeping this group essentially under house arrest and haven't put them in Gitmo.

There's 3800 people in this group. I say we keep them right where they are and monitor their activity.
