We are NOT cooperating with them.

We are simply NOT killing them.

You're absolutely right: in 2003, we disarmed the MEK and interned their forces in their own camps. These weren't exactly "POW" camps, but neither were the MEK fighters allowed to leave. The compromise we reached with their leaders was that we would leave them alone if they stayed out of the fighting. So far, they've kept their word and we've kept ours.

Remember, just because anti-war activists say something is true, doesn't make it so. And what's this guy's beef, anyway? We neutralized a large militia without firing a shot. Would he rather we fight them in the streets of Mosul and Kirkuk?

Yep. The author appears to acknowledge their disarmament without comment and then regards a press conference in the Hotel Palestine as "support."

It's been recommended to turn MEK loose in Iran - one claim I read was that they could put 100,000 boots on the ground. We didn't. And we really need to take this sort of story with a tub full of salt.
