As an Iranian, I'd rather Mullahs to these terrorists.
Without these intrepid individuals, we would still know barely anything about Iran's surreptitious nuclear program.
Yes, they were terrorists in a past life, but now they are an invaluable resource in our struggle against the chief state-sponsor of terror, i.e., the IRI.
At worst, they are a misguided cult, but at best, they are an ally-as important as Pakistan, Afghanistan or any other-in our mutual WOT.
Well, the US will fail the battle over the Mullahs by supporting such terrorists.
No Iranians want the terrorists to run the country!
I will fight against them if they attack Iran or try to hurt us.
And I don't believe the U.S. is supporting them. In fact, quite the opposite is the case.
However, it is folly to deny the fact that these folks have proven to be an extraordinary intelligence resource, as far revealing some of the more ill-concealed state secrets of the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

For the sake of good discussion - we should invite Jafarzadeh to make his reply.
If Jafarzadeh is a terrorist as you said - the FBI, CIA and the rest of the Intelligence community are made to look like they are all dumb by permitting a terrorist to roam around in the US. I'm 100% they are not these are totally dedicated organizations.
You indicated your preference to the mullahs - I hope you are not in the United States because if you are - why are you here in the land of the great Satan?
Khuoda Hafez!
You are missing something important. These people want the demise of the regime. yes. But they want the demise so that THEY Can Take Over. They aren't in this for OUR benefit.
I'd rather Mullahs to the MEK terrorists!
Moreover, I am hearing a great cooperation between the pentagon and MEK. That is why CIA or FBI can not do much about him.
My question is: Why do the US support MEK terrorist group?
Jafarzadeh is a known entity. He speaks well and smiles nicely.
He is a terrorist living in the U.S
every terrorist can smile nicely!
Why are the French-of all people-suddenly concerned about individuals who collaborated with Saddam Hussein, a man who-if they had there way-would still be in power, terrorizing the Iraqi people?
This is nothing more than a maneuver on their part to save face, but most importantly, to placate the mullahs who oversee their oil-rich ally, Iran.
MEK leader and Saddam
Of course, He uses his smile to fool people.
People are dumb?
As I alluded to in a previous post, the primary advantage that they present is as an intelligence asset in the fight to prevent Iran from developing nuclear capabilities.
Whatever else their faults-and they are manifold-this one crusade-for lack of a better word-should have earned them some good will from the international community, whose leaders are repeatedly invoking the need for nuclear disarmament.
"This is nothing more than a maneuver on their part to save face, but most importantly, to placate the mullahs who oversee their oil-rich ally, Iran."
Yes. It's a "maneuver" by the French. But that doesn't make MKO harmless. They are dangerous.
Decisions were made some where else... FIGHTING here over the MEK being legitimate, safe or dangerous does not make sense here.
I am going to write to FOX NEWS and President Bush.
I hope President Bush hears us. Although I doubt FNC hears any body but MEK affiliated people.
I have to disagree.
I understand using criminals as informants. I think that's the extent of what we are doing.
Good will? No.
