Washington Post Shills for Terrorists

Not all terrorists are equally damndable, apparently.
The Washington Post has an article today on the Iraqi government’s plan to shut down the camp of the Mujaheddin-e Khalq, or MEK. This is a violent Marxist organization that was designated by the State Department as terrorists in 1997 because of their long record of killing civilians (they also killed some Americans). But the Post characterizes MEK as merely an “Iranian opposition group.”
The Bush administration -especially Dick Cheney - loved and protected the MEK because the MEK ginned up information to justify threatening to attack Iran. The Post notes that “U.S. officials credit the MEK with providing information about Iran’s nuclear program.”
The Post neglects to mention that MEK’s allegations turned out to be crap and were debunked by a National Intelligence Estimate in late 2007.
MEK sanctified U.S. aggression, and thus they were the good guys. The Washington Post’s Middle East reporting continues its hallowed tradition of rising above the facts…

AMEN.
The passion of the American establishment , therefore the big media and its big contacts, is for the gain, security, prosperity of Israel.
The DNA of motivations and actions is always defined by its relatedness to Israel.
Simply Iran is seen as a enemy, adversary, not best buds, of Israel. So the opposition to Iran is the friend of America.
As a Evangelical Christian all these decisions on who to aid or reject can be done with the simple concept of justice. IF someone does evil or injustice then forsake them. This would get rid of these groups as recipents of American favour and wealth.
Of coarse this would leave Israel adrift too.
