Anybody remember the Mujahedin-e-Kharq? I wrote about them waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in August 2009 as I was sitting in Kuwait waiting to head north into Iraq for a third time. The MeK are an organization/cult that formed in Iran during the 1960's to fight the Shah. They were communists and extremely violent and eventually found a home in Iraq. The United States would eventually label the MeK a terrorist organization.
Until now that is.
The State Department is removing MeK from the list of terrorist groups. This will not end well.
At least most of them are sitting on the former "Camp Liberty" in Baghdad where they likely can't do anything too harmful. Iraq is booting them out of the country, and rightfully so since they are Iranians who are only in Iraq because Saddam found the MeK useful. But where they end up is currently anybody's guess. What they do once they get wherever they are going is what concerns me.
