Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Are you asking if it happened formally?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  It was.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  That would have been by the State Department at that time, and let me leave it at that. It would have been done by the State Department.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Sir, I appreciate it. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  With the UN, there is. Tom Ridge has said it probably more than anybody else: we need to get blue helmets on the ground. I am more than willing to go with that operation. As I mentioned, we need to get the UN even more engaged in trying to protect the people that UNHCR is tryin

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes, sir, you're right. When I was the anti-terrorism officer of Iraq, I used to have to sometimes examine the facts, look at the history as you've just pointed out, and also make some gut-feeling calls. One day General Sanchez stopped me outside the office and asked, “What's

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I can vouch for every one of those residents. There are only two people in Camp Ashraf who were in the PMOI at the time of the killings of the Americans back in the 1970s. And as I mentioned, it wasn't even their organization. I can say the names of those two people right now. Th

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Sir, for going over the time on the questions, I'm at fault. I'm the guilty one.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I take total guilt, because I keep going on. Moqtada al-Sadr informed his followers that Saddam would not live to see the light of a new year. He informed Maliki, “I want Saddam turned over to me tomorrow morning.” Maliki contacted the commanding general of Task Force 134, who a

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Sir, your comments are totally on target, and I agree with you 100%. To show you how much Maliki is actually behind this, this is the magazine of his political party. The centre article is titled “MeK Organization: international terrorist from previous dictatorship and the depth

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you, sir.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Sir, that is an excellent question. Also, at congressional hearings with Congressman Rohrabacher yesterday those same issues were brought up. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson pointed out to the State Department that she feels the condition you just described should be set down, and

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Not through shaking the hands. We did have another facility that had about 190 what we refer to as defectors, and those were the two of the agreements. Julie Norman worked one just before I got there, and I worked a clarification of one. The people did leave. We had a couple of w

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  That is the hardest of all. I have a philosophy that if you beat the enemy you feel good about it; if he beats you, you live with it. If we don't do something different we'll be living with their death. They will be rolled up by Maliki. We saw what was done in 2009, and it was mo
