Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes, sir, and I sincerely appreciate it. Because, you're right: they are out there.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  First, the reason that deadline slipped was international pressure. Maliki was going to do it, but the North American and Western European governments came down so hard that he couldn't. There's a problem. The U.S. has stated that it needs to get in there and find out what a sea

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I appreciate it. I know that testimony and I challenge it again, because from the time that Saddam gave them a place to be in 1986 as a military force—and that's why I emphasize the National Liberation Army of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq—they were oriented in a military manner toward t

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  As I recall right now, they call them children, but they're probably in their very late teens or early twenties. I don't have the breakdown of that.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Right. To peel back the onion one layer at a time, there was revolution going on inside Iran involving Communists, the Mujahedin-e-Khalq, and the supporters of Grand Ayatollah Khomeini. These three elements were all fighting against the Shah. What the United States especially tri

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Sure.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Congressman Poe was being very kind to him. Congressman Poe is a very great man, not only in Congress but also before as a judge. He let the conversation move on, but I don't believe Congressman Poe believed it. Tomorrow there will be hearings back in D.C., which Congressman Poe,

We had gotten word, General Phillips, Colonel McCloskey, Colonel Norman and I, that this was coming out and we wrote a letter to the head of BBC and told them they were taking a very skewed look at it. When I

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Camp Ashraf is about 50 to 80 miles from the Iranian border. Camp Hurriya is much further away because of the way the Iraqi border is shaped, plus you're moving into the northeast towards the centre of Iraq, so it's more like 120 miles. But even then, given where both camps are,

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes, sir. As of May 11, approximately 2,000 or very close to that were at Camp Liberty. Of those, 739 have been issued ID cards by the UN; 323 were interviewed, 53 of them women and 270 men, and as of right now, zero status has been determined.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I'll make arrangements with Miriam or anybody on your staff. I think this might be my only set, but I do have the electronic copies and I can easily send a disk.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you. Mr. Chairman, and members of Parliament, I greatly appreciate the honour to once again testify before you on the situation in Camp Ashraf and the former National Liberation Army of the MeK and the many events that have transpired since our last meeting on December 8.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Sir, thank you.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  It was. Yes, sir.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  In this particular case it was done by Rumsfeld. What happened, as I know everybody is aware.... Normally in a situation like that, as soon as the military operations cease, the State Department would go in and start building a government. Colin Powell did have a very extensive p
