Senator Kerry claims that he supports a focus of a war on terrorism. The complete facts do not support his selective, misleading claims. Fact 1. In the September 12, 2002 background paper for President Bush's speech to the United Nations General Assembly, "A Decade of Deception and Defiance", the White House named three terrorist organizations operating from Iraq: (1) Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK or MKO) (2) Palestine Liberation Front (PLF) (3) Abu Nidal Organization. The background paper did not note that the MEK and its front, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, operated from a registered office close to the White House: 1051 National Press Building, 529 14th Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20045. This fact should be very easy for you to confirm. The MEK had an office in the National Press Building. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/09/20020912.html Fact 2. On January 15, 2003, the New York Times published a full-page advertisement claiming that 150 members of Congress had signed a statement of support for the MEK. The advertisement included the names and photographs of 6 of the members of Congress (3 Democrats and 3 Republicans): Democrats Bob Filner (California), Sheila Jackson-Lee (Texas), Edolphus Towns (New York); Republicans Lincoln Diaz-Balart (Florida), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Florida), Tom Tancredo (Colorado). Fact 3. During former President Bill Clinton's administration, the State Department classified the MEK as Marxist terrorists. During President George W. Bush's administration, the State Department continued to classify the MEK as Marxist terrorists. The basis for the classification, in addition to the murders of large numbers of Iranians, includes the killings of American military officers, Rockwell International employees, and of Iraqis. The MEK has posted online at more than one Web site a free book, Democracy Betrayed, to provide the MEK's version of the events. U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Harold Price (wounded May 31, 1972) U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Hawkins (killed June 2, 1973) U.S. Air Force Colonel Paul Schaeffer (killed May 21, 1975) U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Jack Turner (killed May 21, 1975) William C. Cottrell, Rockwell International (killed August 28, 1976) Robert R. Krongrad, Rockwell International (killed August 28, 1976) Donald G. Smith, Rockwell International (killed August 28, 1976) For one of the Web sites (which includes links to other Web sites), see: http://www.iran-e-azad.org/english/ Fact 4. At his March 6, 2003 press conference, President Bush criticized Saddam Hussein's support of Al-Qaeda-like terrorist organizations. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/03/20030306-8.html Fact 5. During the invasion of Iraq, American military personnel worked with Iraqis to attack the MEK Marxist terrorists in Iraq. Major wire services provided stories or photographs of the deaths and destruction at Camp Ashraf. See, for example, Kevin Frayer (AP) and Petr Josek (Reuters). Fact 6. The MEK has praised the support of some members of Congress in its free book, Democracy Betrayed. For the MEK's praise of Senator John Kerry, Democratic Party candidate for President, see: http://www.iran-e-azad.org/english/special/chap2.html Fact 7. The MEK has posted online documents (click on the names of the members of Congress to see the supporting documents) from some members of Congress supporting the MEK even after American soldiers died fighting in Iraq. * <http://www.maryam-rajavi.org/docs/supports/usa/SamBrownback.pdf> Senator Sam Brownback - United States Senate * <http://www.maryam-rajavi.org/docs/supports/usa/Brownback,campbelli.tif> Senator Campbell - United States Senate * <http://www.maryam-rajavi.org/docs/supports/usa/Towns.pdf> Ed Towns - Member of Congress * <http://www.maryam-rajavi.org/docs/supports/usa/DennisMoore.pdf> Dennis Moore- Member of Congress, 24 July 2003 * <http://www.maryam-rajavi.org/docs/supports/usa/Clay.pdf> Wm Lacy Clay - Member of Congress * <http://www.maryam-rajavi.org/docs/supports/usa/Moore.pdf> Dennis Moore - Member of Congress, 20 June 2003 * <http://www.maryam-rajavi.org/docs/supports/usa/scott.pdf> David Scott - member of Congress * <http://www.maryam-rajavi.org/docs/supports/usa/sheila.pdf> Sheila Jackson Lee - Member of Congress * <http://www.maryam-rajavi.org/docs/supports/usa/Tancredo.pdf> Tom Tancredo - Member of Congress * <http://www.maryam-rajavi.org/docs/supports/usa/Thompson-France.jpg> Bennie G.
