"the Iraqi government promised the United States that it would not force the group's members to leave"
"Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime." -- George W. Bush, September 20, 2001
Of course, when they are OUR TERRORISTS, well....
"US says it downed Iranian drone over Iraq; Calls incursion last month 'not an accident'" by Robert H. Reid, Associated Press | March 17, 2009
BAGHDAD - .... Also yesterday, an Iranian opposition group said Iraqi troops tightened their siege of a camp north of Baghdad where about 3,500 of their members have been based for about 20 years. The People's Mujahedeen said Iraqi troops have prevented food and fuel from reaching Camp Ashraf for the past six days - despite written guarantees by the Iraqi government that it would guarantee human rights of the residents.
Please see: M.E.K.
But Iraqi national security adviser Mouwaffak al-Rubaie branded the allegations "totally baseless." He said People's Mujahedeen members had taken over a building belonging to the Iraqi army and were preventing soldiers from entering it.
"They have a huge propaganda machine all over the world and are known to exaggerate things," added Rubaie, whom the People's Mujahedeen said was behind the alleged crackdown.
I will KEEP THAT in MIND, sir!!!
"There are some indications, moreover, that the MEK obtained the documents not from an Iranian source but from Israel's Mossad --source--"
Iran and the United States consider the People's Mujahedeen a terrorist group and Tehran has stepped up pressure on the Iraqis to close the camp. Iraq took over security for the camp from the United States on Jan. 1. But the Iraqi government promised the United States that it would not force the group's members to leave against their will.
The People's Mujahedeen opposed Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi during the 1979 revolution but fell out with the clerical regime that replaced him.

Saddam Hussein allowed the group to set up a camp during the Iran-Iraq war for staging raids across the border inside Iran.
And THAT was with U.S. SUPPORT, too!!! And we are STILL USING THEM!
US troops disarmed the fighters and confined them to Camp Ashraf after the 2003 US-led invasion that toppled Hussein.
Yeah, right, we's the good guys!!!

"[An] act of terrorism, means any activity that (A) involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life that is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State; and (B) appears to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping."
"The hope that Iranians will blame their own government for their hardships, and that their complaints will influence the regime"
Are we CLEAR?
The LEAST you could do, 'bamer, is CALL OFF the AMERICAN TERRORISTS!!!!!!!
