"Injustice is the best ally for terrorism," reiterated Dick Marty, the Swiss senator in a press conference last week following the ratification of a resolution by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe condemning the methods used by the EU and the UN Security Council for blacklisting groups and individuals.
This resolution by Europe's human rights watchdog, was based on a report pointing out that the use of terrorist lists by the EU and UN is arbitrary and violates fundamental rights, thus putting at risk the very the fabric of a democratic society, i.e. the rule of law

 A judgment last year described the government's ban on Iran's PMOI as 'unlawful' - will Jack Straw ever admit to his part in it?
By: LORD CORBETT OF CASTLE VALE Chair, British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom
The Guardian, January 21, 2008 - Rarely has a verdict been so damning to the government as that issued on November 30 last year by the Proscribed Organisations Appeals Commission (POAC) over the case of the main democratic Iranian opposition, the PMOI.
Since 2001, at the behest of Iran's theocratic leaders, the government had banned the PMOI as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000, without a shred of evidence. The former home secretary, Jack Straw, admitted in 2006 that he had banned the PMOI because the mullahs had demanded it.

Commentary by U.S. Alliance for Democratic Iran
Last July, in the little-noticed Executive Order 13438, the United States made it possible for the Secretary of the Treasury to block "Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq" in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense.
The Executive Order sanctions persons or entities "to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, an act or acts of violence that have the purpose or effect of threatening the peace or stability of Iraq or the Government of Iraq; or undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people."

Throughout recent years the Iranian regime and its activities in relation to terrorism and nuclear weapons have caused frenzy across not only the political world, but also the media. However, the evil nature of this regime should not be anything new. Anyone who has looked into the actions of this regime from the 1979 Revolution to this current day will know that this regime is evil from head to toe, having run a 28-year campaign of violence, murder and destruction against Iran's people.

By every measure, last week was a horrendous week for the clerical regime in Tehran. Through a series of encounters and reports, the regime's outlaw conduct at home, in Iraq and in the Persian Gulf, came under the intense international light again.
President Bush, condemning Tehran rulers of imposing repression and economic hardship at home and seeking "to intimidate its neighbors with ballistic missiles and bellicose rhetoric," called on the Persian Gulf states to stand against Tehran "before it is too late," during his visit of the United Arab Emirates.

 White House considers '94 Argentine bombing a terrorist blueprint
By JAY SOLOMON and EVAN PEREZ
Source: The Wall Street Journal
WASHINGTON -- As tensions between the U.S. and Iran persist, Washington and its allies are using an investigation into a 1994 terrorist attack in Argentina to maintain pressure on the Iranian regime.
Behind the scenes, Bush administration officials are encouraging the probe, which centers on the bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. One U.S. goal is to cause legal problems for some of Iran's political leaders. Administration officials also hope to use the matter to highlight Iran's alleged role in financing and supporting terrorism around the world.

Since 2003 Iran has spent billions of dollars in Iraq, mobilized vast government resources and unleashed the Qods Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, all in an effort to spread its hegemony and the Islamic revolution, according to sources in the Iranian resistance.
In a speech U.S. President George W. Bush delivered on Sunday in Abu Dhabi, the president called Iran "the world's leading state sponsor of terror." Bush said the Islamic republic "sends hundreds of millions of dollars to extremists around the world, while its own people face repression and economic hardship at home." He said Iran was seeking "to intimidate its neighbors with ballistic missiles and bellicose rhetoric."

Accidents happen, no doubt about it. But every so often we let them happen, only to deeply regret it later. That's called foolishness. Such is the case with western policy toward a nuclear Iran.
Iran has made two major announcements in the past two days. First, it says it's just three months away from starting up its Bushehr nuclear facility, thanks to Russia's timely Christmas gift of a supply of nuclear fuel. Second, it says it wants to open up 19 more nuclear power plants, which would require enormous amounts of refined uranium to run and give Iran a plausible reason for enriching its own uranium.

There are three key elements to a nuclear weapon - the fissile material, the missile itself and the process of weaponizing the fissile material for the missile. The US National Intelligence Estimate on Iran's nuclear program published two weeks ago suggests that Iran has put work on the last of these elements on hold. If so, good. But Iran is still pursuing the other two elements, in particular an enrichment program that has no apparent civilian application, but which could produce fissile material for a nuclear weapon, despite demands to stop from the United Nations Security Council and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
