For vedio here here<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\nThank you very much Ambassador Riess, President Rajavi, and my distinguished colleagues on the panel, and very importantly, to the residents of Camp Ashraf.\u00a0\u00a0 We always like to tell you and commit to you as we have in the past that your struggle there is now much more magnified under much greater visibility with a greater hope of safety and rescue than before.\u00a0 And I think we have to credit your President, Madame Rajavi, for this.\u00a0 I think Madame Rajavi, without your leadership [applause] without your perseverance, without your dedication, we might very well today be watching a film of a massacre of hundreds of people at Camp Ashraf instead of what we\u2019re trying to do which is to work out some kind of a rescue plan and a salvation for them.\u00a0 And I think Madame Rajavi, you deserve credit for that and we thank you and salute you for that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was a very extraordinary experience for some of us December 12, 2011, we found ourselves protesting in front of the White House. From former Homeland Security secretaries, former governors, former FBI directors, it is quite a strange experience.\u00a0 While I was out there I got a text from the head of the Secret Service detail who said, \u201cI understand you\u2019re outside protesting,\u201d and I said, \u201cYes, we are.\u00a0 And if possible we\u2019d like to come inside and speak to the President.\u201d [applause] Now [applause, cheering] in the President\u2019s strong regard, he met that day, as you know, with Prime Minister Maliki.\u00a0 We were told by very senior officials in the Department of State that he raised Camp Ashraf, that Secretary Clinton raised Camp Ashraf.\u00a0 She has said on the record that she is personally involved in this issue.\u00a0 She appointed an ambassador last month to deal with this matter.\u00a0 Very extraordinary things that have happened in a very short period of time which have staved off the genocide which we could have otherwise been witnessing at Camp Ashraf.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What was also bizarre about the meeting and event that we had outside the White House on December 12th is Madame Rajavi spoke to us by satellite.\u00a0 We were very pleased always to hear her words and hear her leadership, but she wasn\u2019t there.\u00a0 She\u2019s not allowed into the United States because of this persistent, unlawful and unjustified continuation of listing the MEK as a terrorist organization.\u00a0 Ironically, that day who was in the White House was an individual named Hadi Amiri.\u00a0 Hadi Amiri is the Secretary of Transportation, Minister of Transportation for Iraq, which is also very dangerous since we\u2019re going to be transporting the Ashrafis from Camp Ashraf, hopefully safely, to Camp Liberty.\u00a0 But he\u2019s got a very interesting background.\u00a0 And as a I said, I\u2019m not an investigator anymore; I don\u2019t have the tools I used to have in the FBI, but I do have the Internet.\u00a0 And if you go on the Internet you can find a picture of Mr. Amiri, the current Minister of Transportation.\u00a0 There\u2019s a shot in October where he\u2019s kissing the ring of the supreme (leader), the head of the terrorist regime.\u00a0 And he\u2019s also a very interesting history.\u00a0 He was the commander of the IRGC (bata) brigade.\u00a0 The IRGC, as you know, were responsible for among other things, the murder of 19 American airmen at Khobar Towers in June of 1996, a Hezbollah operation conducted with the funding, guidance, planning of the IRGC which is the external terrorist organ of the administration.\u00a0 I said when I was outside the White House, \u201cYou know, a couple of the FBI agents would be very interested in speaking to Minister Amiri, maybe showing him some mug shots and asking him some questions.\u201d\u00a0 But the fact that he\u2019s in the White House meeting with the President and Mrs. Rajavi is on a satellite because she\u2019s not able to enter the United States puts into perspective the policy failure and deficiency that is continuing in the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
So we do have some good tidings, as they say, with respect to what has happened in the last few weeks.\u00a0 The plan to disperse the residents of Camp Ashraf around Iraq has stopped.\u00a0 The deadline has been moved.\u00a0 A new ambassador has been appointed by the Secretary of State.\u00a0 An MOU has been signed on Christmas Day, although as Attorney General Mukasey mentioned, a very deficient legal document in terms of protecting those people, but the details have not been worked out.\u00a0 The implementation of the agreed plan to move the Ashrafis to Camp Liberty and then to transit them on to safe havens outside of Iraq, everyone seems to agree on that principle now, which is an extraordinary development, a development which was accelerated by Madame Rajavi\u2019s very prompt and I think surprising volunteering of moving 400 people immediately to Camp Liberty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But, you know, there\u2019s an expression in English, the devil is in the details, and the details here are quite deficient.\u00a0 We have been speaking, as you\u2019ve heard, at a very high level with the State Department, some of us on weekly, even bi-weekly calls.\u00a0 And it\u2019s clear from those conversations that there is no plan, that there is an idea and an objective but there is no plan.\u00a0 For instance, we asked why can\u2019t the U.N. interview these refugee candidates in Camp Ashraf?\u00a0 And we get the amazing and preposterous response back that the U.N. won\u2019t conduct the interviews there because they think it\u2019s an intimidating atmosphere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Well, if you look at what they\u2019re doing at Camp Liberty I can\u2019t conceive of a more intimidating atmosphere, with police inside the compound, UN observers outside the compound, no U.S. observers, a small, tiny facility with no infrastructure.\u00a0 When Ambassador Kobler signed that MOU on December 25th, did he not know that there was no infrastructure in Camp Liberty?\u00a0 There was no plumbing; there was no electric; there was no basis to move anybody in there even if you were creating a prison.\u00a0 He was there yesterday apparently to inspect the facilities.\u00a0 Hopefully, as we asked, the U.S. representative was there with him.\u00a0 But the bottom line is there is no plan, there was no details.\u00a0 All the things that the other speakers have said and will say just underscore the fact that there\u2019s been no thinking; there\u2019s been no activity with respect to the implementation of this plan, which means that the safety of these 3,400 men and women is still immensely at risk.\u00a0 The deadline may have moved but the operational ability to now put them in a position where they\u2019ll be safely and fairly processed is just not been had and that\u2019s what we have to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The only reason we\u2019re where we are today with the slight progress that has been made is because of this persistence and because of the international community.\u00a0 And I have to say, my colleagues in the United States have been just absolutely ferocious in terms of pursuing this.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been on the calls with many of the panel members here, absolutely ferocious and aggressive in an appropriate way to ensure the things that have to be done to protect these people.\u00a0 We get responses that don\u2019t make sense.\u00a0 We get non-responses.\u00a0 Once in a while we get an indication that something might be done and we have had small signs, very small signs of progress in that area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, our goals here are very simple and really have not changed over the last year.\u00a0 We need to protect the residents of Camp Ashraf and make Camp Liberty a safe and quick transit point for them out of Iraq into other places. [applause] We have to delist the MEK.\u00a0 This is the most preposterous circumstance that I\u2019ve seen in 25 years of investigative, legal and government service. There is no factual basis for maintaining this group on the foreign terrorist organization list.\u00a0 We have not gotten\u2014all of my colleagues here, generals, former CIA directors, Homeland Security secretaries, attorney generals\u2014not one of us has received a call or a cue from any of our former colleagues that this organization is one that should be cautioned about because it\u2019s a terrorist organization.\u00a0 Nothing, zero.\u00a0 There\u2019s not even been a leak in Washington, and you know how quick our government officials in some cases are to leak things.\u00a0<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/01\/IMG_5105.JPG\" "\\"IMG_5105\\"")
<\/p>\n
There\u2019s not even been a leak that there is some document, there is some redacted memorandum, there is some informant that puts this organization in the preposterous place that the State Department has put it.\u00a0 They put it there in 1997 to appease Iran.\u00a0 Iran said, \u201cIf you put this organization on the list, we\u2019ll have better relations.\u201d\u00a0 Well that was completely ridiculous.\u00a0 The relations got worse.\u00a0 As Governor Ridge said, when he was Homeland Secretary, I was FBI Director, we didn\u2019t even assign anybody to the MEK because we knew why it was being put on the list.\u00a0 It was being put on the list to accommodate Iran and that policy and appeasement and accommodation has continued and continues today.\u00a0 One of the strongest things that the United States of America could do to not only support Iranian freedom but also to send a clear message to the regime in Tehran that their terror enterprise is coming to an end would be to recognize the only organized resistance, the only credible human rights organizational enterprise for Iranian freedom, take it off the list and take it off the list immediately.<\/p>\n
So, you know, one of our conversations, I\u2019ll close with this, one of our conversations with a very senior government official went as follows.\u00a0 We said, \u201cLook, we\u2019re not government officials anymore.\u00a0 We don\u2019t claim to have access to all the information you have, but everything we know, everything we\u2019ve heard commands that this organization be delisted.\u201d\u00a0 And we said that if the decision has already been made within the administration, I believe a decision has already been made, whether to continue the listing or delist it, just accelerate that decision.\u00a0 You know, don\u2019t spend the next 16 months.\u00a0 We\u2019ve already had 16 months since the Court of Appeals found the Secretary of State to have violated the due process rights of the PMOI and 16 months of no response.\u00a0 If the government has made that decision\u2014we believe that they have made the decision because there is no basis to keep the listing\u2014they need to announce it; they need to promote it; they need to publicize it quickly.\u00a0 That would be a huge step in getting us where we need to go.\u00a0 Thank you very much.<\/p>\n
