Iran loses a scientist and plays the victim

Dec 9th, 2009

http://www.examiner.com/x-14373-Progressive-Geopolitics-Examiner~y2009m12d9-Iran-loses-a-scientist-and-plays-the-victim Iran is charging Saudi Arabia with working with U.S. intelligence in the kidnapping of Iranian scientist Shahram Amiri while the man was on the Hajj.

NIAC’s Smoke Screen and Intimidation Campaign

Dec 8th, 2009

Trita Parsi and NIAC must realize that the facts in the case are independent of who I am and what I believe. These facts are not about “neocons”, “war mongers”, “Israelis”, “Zionists”, “right wings”, MEK”, “monarchists”, and many other smoke screens in their PR campaign. These facts are directly based on Parsi’s writings, communications and actions. NIAC’s repeated failed efforts to put a gag order on the discovered facts do not change the nature of these documents either.

Trita Parsi Reports to Tehran

Dec 4th, 2009

As we have noted in the communications between Parsi and the Iranian U.N. ambassador, the exchange of information is followed by action to influence U.S. policy toward Iran. This coordination of action is even more astonishing with Namazi. See how they coordinated a “game plan” to influence the U.S. Undersecretary of State. In 2005, they planned to meet Burns and brief him on U.S. policy toward Iran. Once again, the communications are baffling:

Students grill Trita Parsi at American University-Washington College of Law

Dec 3rd, 2009

The student pointed out the falsity of Mr.Parsi’s assertion in stating that reform is the hope of the movement. Another colleague of Moussavi, former President of Iran, Khatami, came out and said that the regime was illegitimate and reform was no longer an option.
