ashrafcity.blogspot.com PMOI (?) blog with updates on the political wranglings over the fate of the "Ashrafis".
The Cult of Rajavi History
and True face of Ashraf: best article I've found.
Mullahs, Look! Women,
Armed And Dangerous Location and brief military history, glimpses of
fanaticism. Answers the question, Why don't they wear rank or other insignia.
Ashraf's surrender "Camp Ashraf, Iraq —
Surrounded by American tanks, an Iranian opposition group under orders to surrender agreed
Saturday to turn over its weapons and submit to the demands of U.S. forces, Army officials
said."
Intrigue
and Tehran Organized breakout ruse from the outside: Phony mob of
"relatives".
Political hot potato "Iranian officials reacted
angrily after the US ruler of Iraq, Paul Bremer, said Mujahideen members would not be
expelled to Iran but rather sent to third countries.... The group mounted attacks
inside Iran from neighbouring Iraq when Saddam Hussein was in power, but surrendered to
the coalition in May, when US troops disarmed more than 3,800 of them. They are now
guarded by US troops at their base in Camp Ashraf, northeast of the Iraqi capital."
Political football "The US-backed Kurdish attack on
the military headquarters of Iran’s most dangerous enemy, the Mujaheddin I-Khalq,
epitomizes the complexities and inconsistencies of Washington’s working relations
with Tehran in the Iraq War."
GlobalSecurity.org
profile General description of group, leaders, and tally of surrendered arms.
"... yet to understand
the effect of it on me you ought to know how I got out there, what I saw, how I went up
that river to the place where I first met the poor chap. It was the farthest point
of navigation and the culminating point of my experience. It seemed to throw a kind
of light on everything about me-- and into my thoughts. It was somber enough, too--
and pitiful-- not extraordinary in any way-- not very clear either. No, not very
clear. And yet it seemed to throw a kind of light."
Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
For the invisible things of
him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that
are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were
thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 21:20,21
