Beschreibung:Includes index
As in the children?s game of?chase and tag,? opponents of the main Iranian dissident organization?the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MeK)?oppose removal of an unwarranted terrorist tag imposed on it by the U.S. State Department, in effect, chasing the MeK to tag it with legally irrelevant arguments for continuation of the terrorist designation. Terror Tagging of an Iranian Dissident Organization resolves the puzzle of why the State Department continues to label the MeK a terrorist organization, despite the law and facts: In a vain effort to reach out to the Iranian regime, the State Department pays more attention to international politics than American law or historical circumstances?lack of evidence of any military actions by the MeK within a legally relevant time period of two years since the last designation. With a simple signature to remove the terrorist tag, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton would bring her Department in accord with the law and facts;empower the Iranian people to change the regime in Tehran;and open a political option between failed diplomatic engagement and ineffective economic sanctions, on one hand, and problematic military action, on the other
